About this place

Enkei Gekijo Kurayoshi Figure Museum is a museum of figures and character goods in Kurayoshi, Tottori Prefecture. It is the old Meirin Elementary School building and one of the earliest works of the "circular architecture" designed by Sakamoto Kanao in the late 1950s. As the oldest surviving of Sakamoto's works and highly typical, it has high value as a cultural property. It opened in April 2018 as "Enkei Gekijo Kurayoshi Figure Museum."
