Last update :

Mizuki Shigeru wrote one of the most famous manga comics, GeGeGe no Kitaro. His memorial museum is located in Sakaiminato City, his hometown. A 14-minute walk from JR Sakaiminato Station along "Mizuki Shigeru Road" will take you to the museum.
As soon as you enter the museum, the statues of Mizuki and his character Kitaro welcome visitors at the GeGeGe Entrance. Following the path, you will first come to the "Mizuki Shigeru Manga World" and see displays of Muziki’s life work.

Further on is the "Mizuki Gallery" which exhibits his murals and original prints (reproductions); the "Neboke Life Room" which explains about Mizuki's life; a recreation of his work studio; the "Nonnonba to Ore" which presents a collection of yokai inspired Mizuki’s creations and the spooky “Yokai Cave.” At the ”Yokai Plaza”, you can learn about yokai characters that have been handed down over time throughout Japan. You can also pass through Mizuki’s "Life Story Corridor" and learn more about him. Finally, you can visit special exhibitions of the TV Animation 'GeGeGe no Kitaro (6th season)' and the manga 'Akuma-kun'. At this museum, you can learn not only about Mizuki Shigeru's life and his passion for manga and yokai, but also gain a more general knowledge of yokai.

The museum store sells an array of Mizuki’s items, including the official guidebook of the museum and a selection of books authored by him.

    原本對鬼太郎不熟悉,來到這才知道其典故,另外也了解水木茂老師過去曾參與戰爭,也喜歡冒險事蹟,常到各國去收集特殊奇風異俗,難怪鬼太郎妖怪故事這麼生動吸引人!

  • 蕭美華

    一出車站的街道上布滿各式各樣的妖怪,無論是食物或者是物品都可以和怪物扯得上邊,是條很有趣的街道。

    介紹創造妖怪著生平事蹟,喜歡鬼太郎的不彷進去參觀。
