This is a fantastic museum telling the complex story of Korean migrants in Japan, the legacy of war and colonialism, and multiple generations of activism. We were amazed to learn how recently all of this happened and were grateful to be able to learn about it and to feel connected to Utoro and its people. The museum offers comprehensive English translations for all exhibits.

A very informative history of the experience of Zainichi Koreans in Japan, and very welcoming staff. I learned a lot!

The history of Utoro is like a mirror reflecting the past we could not see. It is a story of war, colonial rule, and the power born through struggle and resistance. The path was by no means smooth, yet they endured with solidarity and with dreams for tomorrow. I hope their story will be remembered for a long time.

One of the best places in Japan. Please visit and learn. They have English and Korean translations!!

The Utoro Peace Memorial Museum is a very informative and welcoming place to learn more about the Zainichi community in Uji. The museum does a fascinating job of explaining the history of Japan and the Korean Peninsula as well as the history of the ethnic Zainichi Koreans who have been living in Japan. It’s a completely different and unique experience if you are taking a trip to Uji!
