Overview

If you’re eager for a journey that allows you to immerse yourself in cultural and historical wonders in a way the mainstream destinations might not, visiting the Northern Culture Museum in Niigata may be exactly what you’re looking for.
It is the first private museum established after World War II in Japan and was originally the household (and actually still is) of the Ito family, whose history dates back to 1756. The land that the museum sits on is 29,200 ㎡ and there are a total of 65 rooms with over 6,000 antiques throughout.
This tour will be guided by the person best suited to guide you. He worked at the museum for over 50 years and was very close to the 8th and final head of the house.
And you will be experiencing some special programs prepared for only this tour. You will go into "off-limit" one-of-the-kind building and garden where only the Ito family and VIP guests and enjoy local lunch served with exquisite lacquerware used for the special occasions for the Ito family.
