The Kitanagoya City Museum of History and Folklore (also known as the Showa Era Lifestyle Museum) was established in Aichi Prefecture with the purpose of preserving the daily life experiences of the Showa era. The museum’s main focus is on fostering nostalgic experiences and memories of the middle Showa era.
With a collection of over 100,000 daily life necessities from those times, the museum hosts over 40,000 visitors every year. One look at the exhibit prompts visitors to remark, “Wow, that really takes me back to that age!” Visitors are provided with nostalgic feelings and sentiments and encouraged to actively share their memories.
