Museu Histórico da Imigração Japonesa

São Paulo


This modest but fascinating museum, on the 7th floor of a Liberdade office building, documents the arrival and integration of the Japanese community. Photos, period objects and a full-scale reconstruction of a typical immigrant’s farm lodging tell a poignant story: from the arrival in Santos of the first 781 settlers aboard the Kasato-Maru in 1908, through to today.
