A museum dedicated to the history and folklore of Suwa City and its surroundings. The three-section permanent exhibition room on the second floor has easy-to-understand exhibits from the Paleolithic and Jomon eras to modern times. You will also learn about Shinto rituals related to Suwa Taisha Shrine. It's a shame that unlike other museums, photography is not allowed these days. You can get three clay figurine stamps stamped here.

This is a city museum in front of Suwa Taisha Kamisha Hongu. Admission fee is 310 yen. The permanent exhibition room on the second floor has exhibits divided into themes of history and folklore. The history is also worth seeing, from the Jomon period pottery to modern times. On the first floor, there is a Suwa Ancient Times Information Center, where you can view the research documents of our predecessors in historical research. You can also enjoy a footbath.

A city museum located near the main shrine of Suwa Taisha Shrine. Admission fee is 500 yen during special exhibitions (310 yen outside of special exhibitions). I think it's best to watch it for about an hour to see it all through. The permanent exhibits featured themes such as Jomon pottery, the Jingu temple that existed around Suwa Taisha Shrine until the Meiji era, the works of the master carpenters of Tachikawa and Osumi, the legend of Suwa, and the Onbashira Festival, and were well-organized and worth seeing. . There were also illustrations and videos, so I thought it was easy to understand. The problem is that public transportation is difficult to access, so I recommend taking a local bus from Kamisuwa Station to get there, and calling a taxi to Chino Station on the way back (the taxi to Chino Station cost about 2,000 yen). Additionally, the museum receptionist gave me the phone number of a nearby taxi company.
