Sightseeing Spots
A Taisho-era townhouse where Chihiro Iwasaki, one of Japan’s most renowned picture book artists, was born is open to the public as the “Chihiro’s Birthplace” Memorial Museum.
Inside the museum, the atmosphere of the time when Chihiro’s mother, Fumie, lived there has been restored, and the studio that Chihiro had in her Tokyo home has also been recreated.
The gallery holds special exhibitions of Chihiro’s works each season.
In September 2017, an annex equipped with a picture book library and other facilities opened.
You can enjoy a peaceful moment immersed in the world of Chihiro Iwasaki.
