− Facility Introduction −

Showakan is a popular facility with bases in Takayama City, Gifu Prefecture
and Yufu City, Oita Prefecture, and is visited by approximately 110,000 people
per year. In addition to the Showa generation, there are also an increasing
number of foreign tourists and young people, and many visitors come to post on
social media. Showakan's mission is to convey the spirit of the Showa era to
the next generation, and it aims to convey the power of people who overcame
the hardships of the Showa era and the importance of spiritual richness
through the warmth of objects and culture. While adhering to the traditional
basic principles of "the spirit of cherishing things" and "learning from the
past to create something new," it provides an experience that combines Showa
and Reiwa by disseminating information to new generations and introducing
technology. Inside the facility, a Showa-era streetscape is reproduced, and
visitors can enjoy the five senses through actual objects, materials, sounds
and smells. We strive to have all visitors to Showakan feel the charm of the
Showa era and take home energy and hope. It is a place where you can
rediscover the value of the Showa era while having fun.
