These include EdogawaRanpo, a painter and customs researcher who was friends with Edogawa Ranpo and Yumeji Takeshita, and the Ranpo Yumejikan, and the Ranpo Kankan Toba Literary Gallery.
The courtyard and alley-like passageways create a nostalgic atmosphere of the Showa era.

Junichi Iwata and Ranpo Yumejikan
This is the house where Toba's genius EdogawaRanpo Iwata (painter and customs researcher 1900-1945), who fascinated Edogawa Ranpo and Takehisa Yumeji, spent most of his life. Exhibits include letters exchanged with famous people and everyday tools from the time.

Ranpokan/Toba Literary Gallery
Introducing the days EdogawaRanpo spent in Toba and how he met his wife, Takashi Murakami (from Sakate Island), who would become his lifelong companion. Also on display are Ranpo's favorite items, figurines of the Ranpo couple in the storehouse, and panels introducing literary figures connected to Toba, such as Yukio Mishima.

illusion castle
EdogawaRanpo 's works ``Walker in the Attic,'' ``Invisible Love,'' and ``Insects'' are displayed in a display case shaped like an open book, with dolls that recreate the beginnings of the works and scenes from them, as well as ``Panorama Island Strange Story.'' The world of Ranpo's works is expressed inside the warehouse using audio guides and other means.

Minato Town Literature Museum Koji
A retro Showa space that runs through the Literary Museum and connects Osato-dori and Honmachi-dori. If you enter the narrow alley from the side of the lattice door, you will find yourself in a time tunnel that connects you to 1955.

You can view and edit the sightseeing route (My Plan on My Page) that will take you around the selected spots.
