For Group/Individual Visitors
For Individual Visitors
If you wish, you can apply to join on one of the scheduled days for Public Tour, and receive a guided tour. This is a tour we highly recommend — it shares the story of Utoro in ways you can’t fully grasp from the exhibition alone.
For Group Visits
We highly encourage you to take advantage of our Private Tour. Since the museum opened in 2022, the Utoro Peace Memorial Museum has conducted hundreds of private tours each year, receiving very positive feedback.

Train
600 meters (8-minute walk) from Iseta Station on the Kintetsu Kyoto Line
Please note that Google Maps may sometimes suggest a route that takes twice as long from the station area.
- From Exit 2 of Iseta Station, head right (west) and walk downhill.
- Before reaching Nose-en (のせ園), turn left.
- Continue straight until you reach the irrigation canal, and cross to the south side.
- At the front of Nishi-Uji Junior High School (西宇治中学校), turn right.
- Keep walking straight — you’ll arrive at the Utoro Peace Memorial Museum.
Taxi
If you plan to take a taxi from the station, we recommend using Ōkubo Station on the Kintetsu Kyoto Line. Although Iseta Station is the closest to the museum, it is a small station and taxis may not be readily available there.
Private Vehicles
We kindly ask visitors to use public transportation whenever possible.

1 parking space is reserved for visitors with physical disabilities
