Ichinomiya City Museum

Ichinomiya City Museum is a city museum displaying regional objects and historical documents from Aichi Prefecture across multiple exhibition levels. The collections focus on local history and the development of the area.

The museum was founded in 1987 through an architectural project by designer Shozo Uchii and was created to preserve and share the cultural heritage of the region. Its design reflected a commitment to presenting local history to the public.

The museum exhibits the crafts and daily practices that shaped Ichinomiya's identity through displays showing local techniques and ways of life that have defined the city.

The location is accessible by public transportation and has signage that guides visitors through the different exhibition areas. You should allow enough time to explore all the rooms without rushing.

The building received the Chūbu Architecture Award in 2023 for its outstanding design and contribution to the region's cultural landscape. The award recognizes the architecture itself as an important element of what makes the visit worthwhile.
