The Omihachiman City Museum is housed in a former Hachiman police station, a Vories-designed building, on the grounds of the residence of Tarouemon Nishimura, a merchant who thrived in Annam (Vietnam) trade. The museum showcases the city's archaeology, folk culture, art crafts, and documents in its permanent exhibits, with special exhibitions held several times a year. Located in the Shimmachi area, the museum is near other historical sites like the old Nishikawa Residence. A common ticket is available for visiting multiple sites. It's a great place to explore the history and culture of Omihachiman.
