Genbudo Museum
Genbudo Museum is located at the entrance of Genbudo Park, a designated national natural treasure.
On the first floor is a weaving exhibit where guests can learn about Willow Craft, Toyooka’s traditional art of weaving that has a history of 1,200 years.
As one wanders the first floor they will also find themselves face to face with an Stegodon fossil, ancient animals which once roamed the region.
On the second floor there are exhibits covering beautiful and fascinating minerals and rocks as well as fossils including that of a t-rex.
Museum Cafe
At the museum cafe, seasonal items made with local ingredients are on the menu including Stork Natural Rice.
The outdoor terrace offers a beautiful panoramic view over the Maruyama River and the surrounding mountains.
Access
While Genbudo does technically have its own train station and therefore is accessible by train (to a point) there is just one small catch. The big river that separates the station and the park.
But worry not! For visitors that are coming by train, a boat can be called for pick up.
Before riding the train please first call the museum and let them know of your estimated arrival time at Genbudo Station.
The boat fare is 900 yen for adults, 500 yen for children, and 300 yen for infants round trip. Please note that the boat may not operate during bad weather.
Other options for accessing Genbudo Museum and Park include taxi, rental car, and rental cycles.
