This museum was opened in 1985 to gather local history and to promote the culture of Shinagawa. As Shinagawa enjoyed a strategic geographical position it flourished as a major post-town. Fishing and laver gathering were the major occupations and there is a beautiful model of a wooden fishing boat on display. American Dr. Edward S. Morse was responsible for the excavation of the Omori shell mounds in 1877. Later, in 1955, this location was declared a national historic spot. An attractive teahouse and garden are adjacent to the museum building. Admission: JPY100
