I visited this garden several times a year when they shows seasonal flowers, such as cherry blossoms, roses, azalea, autumn leaves, and camellia. It is the greatest place to visit, enjoy flowers, and take a rest.

TOTO Ltd. was founded in 1917.When sewage systems did not yet exist in Japan,the company began manufacturing flush toilets and other sanitary ware to promote public health and cultural lifestyles. Further advancement in plumbing equipment techology,products and service were added as Japan modernized,and our lifestyles changed with increased abundance and comfort. To continue to develop in step with society,TOTO believes it is important to retain these founding principles and correctly interpret company history,both of which are critical to pass our corporate values to future generations.This museum was,therefore,built as part of projects to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the founding of TOTO. Together with culture and history of plumbing equipment,we hope the museum provides visitors an opportunity to learn about the philosophy behind TOTO Manufacturing and how products have developed.

What a great museum the Toto Museum was. I traveled to Kitakyushu mainly to visit this museum and it was the highlight of my weekend trip. I walked here from the train station, it was a bit far but doable. The great thing about this museum was the price, it was free! The building was modern and the displays were nice and full of great information. Many of the displays did have English and there was a recording you can listen to on your phone. I love the Japanese toilets, they have ruined me for toilets in other countries. I can't believe the amount of thought and engineering that goes into the Toto toilets, it's amazing. This museum was awesome and I highly recommend visiting.

The tickets cost ¥430 per head to check out the general exhibition area on the 4th floor. We had an English guide explain the architecture of the museum. That's a must especially for architects and engineers. Either way, you really learn a lot about how the Japanese take care of these artifacts. The exhibition itself is in one big hall with a lot of different rooms. But I like how organized and numbered the rooms are. They're historically and chronologically explained. There are English explanations. But there's also a free audio guide that you can get on the 4th floor. An hour here will suffice. Unless you also want to visit the special exhibition which rotates every quarter I think.

old JR trains and city trolley. Good for kids and adults that like old vintage trains. Train station museum nearby as well as a small train that tows 2 cars across one side of town.
