Kinosaki Literature Museum

Kinosaki's Literary Legacy

Kinosaki has long been a beloved retreat for some of Japan’s most well-known and respected creatives.

Shiga Naoya, one of Japan’s iconic writers, was so moved by his stay in Kinosaki that he was inspired to write the novel At Kinosaki.

The Kinosaki Literature Museum, tucked away from the crowds on a small residential street, houses multiple exhibits celebrating Shiga Naoya’s legacy and ties to Kinosaki.

Kinosaki's History

Alongside exhibits pertaining to Kinosaki’s history as a town for the arts, displays and detailed explanations of local antiques and artifacts are also available for viewing, with English-language audio guides, located at the front desk, ready for use throughout the museum.

Celebrating Local Writers

A small book store on the first floor sells multiple works written by local Kinosaki authors. In addition to guidebooks, picture books, and other written works, a small selection of other souvenirs such as buttons and local coffee are also available for purchase.
