Illustration of Miyoshi Mononoke Museum, จังหวัดฮิโรชิมะ — ภาพประกอบ (ไม่ใช่ภาพถ่าย)

In 1749 a sixteen-year-old boy in Miyoshi named Inou Heitaro was, according to the account written down afterwards, visited by supernatural beings every night for thirty days and refused to be frightened by any of them. The Inou Mononoke Roku is one of the more remarkable documents in Japanese folklore, and it happened here.

The town built Japan's first museum devoted to yokai on the strength of it. The collection came from the folklorist Yumoto Koichi, who donated some five thousand pieces — scrolls, prints, toys, ephemera — and the displays draw on that alongside the Inou material. There is also a permanent teamLab installation for children. It is open 9:30 to 5:00, closed Wednesdays, and costs ¥1,000 for adults.

คู่มือจากคนใน

**The story happened in this town.** The Inou Mononoke Roku records thirty nights of hauntings endured by a local sixteen-year-old in 1749. The museum is here because the account is local, not because yokai are a theme. **Closed Wednesdays.** An unusual rest day. With a public holiday shift. **The Yumoto collection is the substance.** Around five thousand pieces from one folklorist — scrolls, prints, cheap printed ephemera — which is what makes this a museum rather than an attraction. **The teamLab room is for children.** Permanent, interactive and popular. Adults interested in the scrolls should budget separately for the queue. **Walk Miyoshi Hondori afterwards.** The old main street and sake brewery lane are nearby and are what the town looks like outside the museum.
