Introduction
Kyotaro Nishimura visited Yugawara to rest, and, enchanted by its climate, natural features and the personality of its people, he decided to set up his final abode here. Sparked by this decision, “Nishimura Kyotaro Museum” was established.
In addition to his works, surpassing 300 and including his handwritten manuscripts, large dioramas and his treasured collection, which symbolize his life as a novelist, are also exhibited.
Please, do get to know Kyotaro Nishimura’s charms.
