Introducing the INAX Live Museum in Tokoname City, Aichi Prefecture There is a museum where you can learn about the history of tiles and terracotta, as if you were in Europe, and a toilet culture museum that opened on April 17th this year in 2025. Some of the terracotta that decorated historical Japanese buildings that have now been demolished are now on display here. The tile and terracotta exhibits were so beautiful that I felt like I was traveling abroad. The newly opened Toilet Culture Museum exhibits toilets from Japan's past and rare toilets, such as Seto, Shigaraki, and Hirashimizu. There is also a restaurant with a terrace inside the museum, where you can have a light glass of wine, and it was impressive to see housewives having lunch there at lunchtime. There is no admission fee if you only go to the restaurant. There were also hands-on classes where you could make glowing mud balls and mosaic art using tiles. I think it would be fun for families with children. By the time I left, I had fallen in love with tiles, so I bought some at the museum shop and went home lol. Tiles are quite expensive, aren't they? But there are magnets and postcards that imitate tiles. You can also find toilet paper and other items at the shop, so be sure to stop by. Admission is 1,000 yen for adults, closed on Wednesdays [next day if Wednesday falls on a public holiday] There are also buses from Chubu Centrair Airport, but only a few a day I think there are more buses from Tokoname Station #inaxlivemuseum #aichiprefectureoutingspots #chubuccentrairairport #overseastravelfeel #tokonametourism #absolutelyfreetrip #soloactivitygirls #soloactivity
