Seseraginosato Museum is a local museum in Okutama. Even just the outside of the museum is a sight to see — a traditional Japanese-style house surrounded by zelkova and cedar trees and the sounds of the nearby Tama River.
Permanent exhibitions
Four to five different exhibitions are held throughout the year, each one centered around artwork and calligraphy related to the region.
Museum facilities
This is a relatively small museum, so there aren’t that many facilities. However, there is a small souvenir corner and toilets.
