Welcome to Bhutan Museum in Fukui, Japan

 The Bhutan Museum was inaugurated in Fukui City in November 2012.

 Bhutan has been carried out its policy using GNH (Gross National Happiness) as the national index. This index is, so to speak, the national guideline for the people across generations to feel greater happiness.

 The NPO named Koufuku no Kuni (which means Land of Happiness) was founded as an organization that plans, advances and manages the museum by volunteers who want to develop friendship and the cooperation between Japan and Bhutan on the basis of the concept mentioned above.

 In order to aim for the goal, the NPO will introduce the culture and the history of Bhutan to Japanese people as accurately as possible, so that the people will have deeper understanding about Bhutan. The goal of the organization includes our contribution to the development of the local communities where the people can feel greater happiness. 

 In July 2020, the Bhutan Museum relocated from the central part of Fukui City to a rural area, Shikadani-Cho in Katsuyama City.
