Toba Sea-Folk Museum

The Toba Maritime National Museum was founded in 1971 to preserve the knowledge and history of Toba's fishing traditions and culture. We are the only museum in Japan that understands the traditions of the Toba fishing peoples and the relationship between man and the sea.For more than 40 years, the museum has been collecting and storing antique fishing equipment from fishing villages in Mi Prefecture, researching the traditions and religion of folk fishing.
