Azuki Bean Museum

The Azuki Bean Museum in Himeji celebrates the significance of azuki beans, a key ingredient in the famous sweet "gozasoro." Operated by the company that makes these traditional treats, the museum preserves and promotes the cultural heritage of azuki beans.

The museum is Japan’s first to focus solely on these beans, offering exhibitions from their botanical origins to their role in Japanese ceremonies. Visitors can enjoy interactive displays, a large-scale model, dioramas, and theater screenings, making it a unique and educational experience.
