Welcome to the Bhutan Museum !
NOTICE
From March 5th of this year, the Bhutan Museum has been temporarily closed to prevent infection with the new Corona virus, but the authorized NPO corporation that is the managing body of the Bhutan Museum held an extraordinary general meeting on June 21st and the meeting decided to move its office and the museum to Katsuyama City, Fukui Prefecture. Therefore, the museum will be closed until it reopens at the relocation site.
We will inform you on this website when the reopening schedule is decided.
The following articles are about the Bhutan Museum which was opened until March 4th and closed now. They are displayed for reference only, be careful.
Our museum is a unique museum devoted exclusively to Bhutanese culture and history in the world outside of Bhutan itself.
The Bhutan Museum is managed by a Non-Profit Organization named as Kofuku-no-Kuni which means Land of Happiness in English. Kofuku-no-kuni is helped with the cooperation of many volunteers.
The mission of the Bhutanese Museum is to raise awareness of Bhutanese rich culture and history to local people in Fukui and others in Japan. The ultimate goal is to increase international friendship between Japan and Bhutan and contribute to the development of both countries.
Bhutan is sometimes referred as one of the happiest countries in the world. We have much to learn in this respect from the country. We are going to offer the opportunities for visitors to consider what it is like to be truly happy in society.
HOURS: Tuesday through Sunday 11am ~ 5pm. Monday closed (except for Japan’s National Holidays on Monday, in which case the museum is open on the holiday and closed the following Tuesday instead).
Location: 3-15-12 Ote, Fukui, 910-0005 Japan
