Our guide

The Yanase Takashi Memorial Hall, run by the city of Kami, Kōchi, is dedicated to the life and work of Takashi Yanase (1919–2013), a writer, poet, illustrator and lyricist. Our source says little more than that, so this page is short.

We have not checked opening hours, fees or a public-transport route, so check the museum's own information before you go.
