The building of Fuchu City Joge History and Culture Museum is a renovated building of the birthplace of the writer "Michiyo Okada" from Joge. The remnants of the old days remain on the eaves.

The contents of the exhibition are the history of the top and bottom on the west of the 1st floor, the introduction of Michiyo Okada on the 2nd floor, and the fairy tale corner on the east of the 1st floor.
The 1st floor hall hosts at least 4 special exhibitions a year, and the 1st floor entrance is a place for citizens to showcase their artwork.

It is a tourist base for the townscape of Joge white walls, and as a tourist information center, it also conveys the charm of Joge.

Reijin-san, a shrine in the museum

sword, entrusted to him by his lord, stolen and while searching for its whereabouts, he came to Joge and became unable to walk due to the tiredness and illness of his trip.
One day, when a kind villager took care of such a samurai and took care of himself, the samurai found a person who looked like a thief and tried to recover the treasure sword, but he was beaten back.
The samurai said, "It is truly not easy to search for stolen or lost items in this world. In gratitude for your kindness, even after I die, my spirit will remain in this place, and if there are any lost or stolen items, I will search for them together with you.", he died saying. The villagers then worshipped the samurai and called him "Reijin-san" (spirit god).
It is said that if you offer incense and ask for help, you will mysteriously find your lost items.
