A history museum that clearly conveys the charm of Itsukushima Shrine and Taira no Kiyomori, and the history of Miyajima, which has nurtured a unique culture.
Itsukushima, known as Miyajima, became widely known due to the Itsukushima faith of Taira clan members including Taira no Kiyomori. Protected by the many people who revere Itsukushima Shrine and the residents of the temple town formed during the Warring States period, the beautiful scenery, known as one of the "Three Most Scenic Views of Japan," and abundant cultural assets remain to this day. The Miyajima History and Folklore Museum opened in April 1974 with the aim of preserving and passing on the diverse materials related to Miyajima's history and culture, as well as the folk cultural assets that were in danger of being lost during modernization. Part of the exhibition facility is made up of the main house and storehouse of the former Egami family, who were known as wealthy merchants and brewed soy sauce from the late Edo period to the Meiji period, and part of it is registered as a tangible cultural property by the country.
