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.

An artificial island to which Dutch workers were restricted during Japan's era of isolation, the area is now being restored and includes historical buildings, a museum and a miniature model of the former island.

Thus is the re-make of the original Dutch settlement on edge of the old Nagasaki harbour. Was a locally built island JUST for the Europeans, has been realistically restored. Excellent historic exhibits and rooms made to look like they originally were utilised (stores or living). At the far end of the street is a model of the island n' buildings and shows you just how small (n' compact) it all was then. Established in 1500's and lasted till mid 1800's and was the "sugar route" into the rest of Japan. Imports were sugar, tobacco and (early on) even silk from China.
