• The former Yanaizu Town Museum of History and Folklore was established as an addition to the “Moegi no Sato” complex in April, 2000. On January 1, 2006, it was renamed “Yanaizu Town Room of History and Folklore” and relocated to the auxiliary room of Gifu City Museum of History. Then on October 8, 2016, it was re-envisioned as the “Hara Sankei Memorial Room.”
  It strives to be a place where people can learn from exceptional local predecessors, to share their dreams and ambitions, and to celebrate their lives.
