Kurashiki City Mabi Hometown History Museum

The Kurashiki City Mabi Hometown History Museum presents local artifacts and documents chronicling the development of the Mabi region through permanent exhibitions and seasonal displays.

Founded in July 1994 and renovated in August 2005, this museum preserves records of agricultural traditions and regional transformations from ancient Bitchū Province to modern times.

The museum exhibits detail the life of Kibi-no-Makibi, an eighth-century Japanese scholar whose educational journey to China influenced Japanese academic practices for generations.

The museum offers guided tours in multiple languages, educational programs for school groups, and research facilities for visitors interested in regional history studies.

Collections include agricultural tools, traditional crafts, and historical photographs documenting the transformation of Mabi from a rural farming area into its present form.
