Kyoshi Memorial Museum, Literary museum in Hirata, Japan

The Kyoshi Memorial Museum displays manuscripts, personal items, and haiku poems by Takahama Kyoshi within a modern building near the Ashiya River.

The museum opened on March 7, 2000, to preserve the legacy of Takahama Kyoshi, a prominent haiku poet who influenced Japanese literature from the Meiji to Showa periods.

The permanent exhibition divides Kyoshi's life into five periods, featuring original manuscripts from Natsume Soseki and correspondence with Masaoka Shiki.

The facility includes a multipurpose hall for 100 people, a reference library with haiku collections, and remains open from 10:00 to 17:00, except on Mondays.

The museum stands next to the residence of Inada Teiko, Kyoshi's direct descendant, who manages the haiku magazine Hototogisu.
