Towel Museum Ichihiro

The Towel Museum Ichihiro is an art museum in Imabari dedicated to towel production and design. The exhibition spaces display manufacturing techniques, design innovations, and artistic works all connected to textile creation.

The museum was founded in 2000 and reflects Imabari's history as Japan's leading towel production center. The region developed this textile expertise over decades of manufacturing experience.

Towels hold an important place in Japanese daily life, and the museum shows how they fit into various aspects of everyday routines. The displays reveal the role these textiles play in how people live and interact with their surroundings.

The museum provides visitors with access to multiple exhibition areas with information about textile production. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended since there are several levels to explore.

Visitors can actively participate in workshops to create their own towels using traditional weaving techniques. This hands-on experience brings together old craftsmanship with contemporary design methods from the region.
