Shinagawa Historical Museum, History museum in Oi, Japan.

The Shinagawa Historical Museum is a history museum in the Shinagawa district that displays archaeological finds, historical documents, and traditional objects across several exhibition halls. The collection shows how this area developed over time and how people lived here through different periods.

The museum was founded in 1985 and is based on findings from the Omori Shell Mounds, which marked the start of archaeological research in Japan. These discoveries were groundbreaking for understanding Japan's early past.

The museum garden holds a tea room called Shotekian from the 1920s, where you can experience how Japanese people have valued tea preparation as a form of artistic practice. This space shows the importance of such rituals in daily life across generations.

The museum is located about 800 meters from Tachiaigawa Station and is easy to reach on foot. The exhibitions are spread across several rooms, so plan for a comfortable walk through the displays.

The garden contains a suikinkutsu, an underground water sound instrument that produces musical tones when water drops onto a ceramic chamber. This acoustic element creates a rare and meditative experience for visitors.
