Hikaru Museum is a comprehensive museum located in Takayama, Japan, dedicated to preserving and sharing the cultural and natural heritage of humanity.

Our collections span fine art, human history, and natural history, including Japanese and Western art, archaeological artifacts from ancient civilizations, fossils, minerals, and meteorites. Through exhibitions, research, and educational programs, we provide opportunities for people of all ages to explore the creativity of humankind and the history of our planet.
