It is small and simple. It might not worth tracking all the way here in a cold winter day. But I have to give it 4 star for the information provided. I learned quite a bit about seaweed harvesting and it's traditional. Lots hard work! Very educational. There's school program teaching kids how to make seaweed sheet the old fashion way.

Free yet well-designed museum with a great view of Tokyo Bay from the rooftop! In the first floor, we’re welcomed with the video played on screen and the audio from nori-farmer mannequin plus his boat displayed in the center. The library also attracted my kid to read all-books-about-nori and play puzzles. In the second floor, we could see some real tools for growing nori in the sea and photo gallery about old Omori city as one of large nori producers in Japan. While visiting this museum, I recommend you spare one day to enjoy the playground, beach, sea, and greens around (esp in the spring time, it becomes sakura huge garden).

Lovely little museum! I learned a lot about the history of nori here and in the region. The staff were extremely nice and gracious even though I only knew a little Japanese and they only knew a little English. They have an English guide of the entire museum on their website that was a godsend!

Tiny museum but full of information. Who knew how the nori leaves are made or that they were first invented there? Many hands(and feet) -on experiments for kids and grown ups.

Small museum with lots of information but it's only in Japanese. Has different hands on experiences. We listen to the small lecture and got to feel and touch nori (seaweed).
