Kamigata Ukiyo-e Museum
Located on a corner lot on the west side of Hozenji Temple, this private art museum specializes in Kamigata ukiyo-e prints, primarily featuring portraits of actors such as Nakamura Utaemon III and Kataoka Nizaemon VII, popular actors from the Bunka and Bunsei periods of the late Edo period. The small four-story museum exhibits around 30 pieces from its collection, with themes changing every three months. Ukiyo-e production tools are also on display on the fourth floor, and classes are held where you can try the "printing" process of ukiyo-e production (reservations required). The first floor also houses a museum shop with a wide selection of ukiyo-e related items and various Japanese goods, which is free to visit.
