Ohashi Collection Kan Museum

The Ohashi Collection Kan Museum displays over 1000 traditional Japanese artifacts, including ceramics, textiles, and crafts from the Hida region.

The museum, which opened in 1987, houses extensive collections gathered by Sotokichi Ohashi, who discovered the adjacent limestone cave system.

The exhibitions present centuries-old Japanese artworks, from intricate lacquerware pieces to traditional kimono fabrics representing regional craftsmanship.

Located at 900 meters altitude, the museum maintains a constant temperature of 12 degrees Celsius throughout the year, creating optimal conditions for artifact preservation.

The museum experienced a significant event in 2007 when its prized 100-kilogram gold bar was stolen, later recovered partially melted after the thief's arrest.
