What other travelers are saying about Ino-cho Paper Museum
Great museum that also does special events such as illuminated paper nights and workshops... Worth a visit even if you are not so interested in the history of tosa washi paper.
Arrived early and there was no one else there. The guide was super friendly and could speak English. The paper making experience was great too, lasting about 10 minutes with a 30 minute wait for the paper to dry, which you can use to tour the museum (about 45 min).
An old lady also makes individual pieces of tosa paper which are sold. I heard she has been working as a paper maker for 70 years.
It is a nice place to study the history of Tosa washi paper. Staff are kind and helpful. Parking is available for vehicles.
A small but very specific museum. Exhibits probably take about 45 minutes to go through in detail to learn about the history of paper making in this town. The paper making experience takes just 10 minutes so you'll be in and out with your own paper souvenirs in no time.
If you have even a passing interest in paper and paper making then this is the museum for you. I didn't bother with workshop session that are on offer but spent a good hour looking at exhibits. Definitely worth a detour...really easy to find and convenient free parking.
