About this spot

The Mizuki Shigeru Museum, at the end of Mizuki Shigeru Road in Sakaiminato City, Tottori Prefecture, had its long-awaited grand reopening in April 2024. Inside, you can fully enjoy the eventful life of Mizuki Shigeru, the leading figure of yokai manga, displays of original drawings rendered in meticulous strokes, and a space where powerful yokai lurk. Children's eyes light up at the mysterious world of yokai, while adults are moved by the deep philosophy and words Mr. Mizuki left behind, making this a museum of real depth. Around the museum is a shopping street lined with more than 170 bronze statues, where you can enjoy yokai-themed food and limited-edition goods. It is recommended for immersing yourself in the world of his works on a solo trip, and also for touring with family and friends while chatting about "which yokai do you like?" It is an absolute must-see sightseeing spot when visiting the San'in region.
