Museu Histórico da Imigração Japonesa no Brasil

An informative museum that offers wonderful insight into the history of Japanese immigrants in Brazil. It consists of 3 floors (starting on Floor 7) that bring a visitor chronologically through the reasons of immigration, the hardships faced, the impact of WWII, and recognition/assimilation. The top floor is reserved more for modern events and there's even a small cafe there.

The exhibits are informative with replicated displays, pictures and videos, and translations of Portuguese into Japanese and English.

It is free to visit on Wednesdays, but the entry fee is reasonable at R$16. One will need to keep their paper receipt throughout the exhibit as each floor has a scanner and turnstile one needs to go through

A very nice museum and very informative of Japanese immigration into Sao Paulo.

Japanese culture has had a big influence in Brazil and it is clearly visible why in this treasure chest.

A wide selection of art and even toys on display.

Great museum that explains how the Japanese people immigrated to Brazil, with special focus to São Paulo region. It shows the hardships they've been through on the early half of the 20th century and how they overcame it, highlighting the great figures that made it happen. It has many pieces of that history, from a reconstruction of the ship that brought the first folk here to a recreation of the house of a field worker. Definitely worth visiting.

Small but nice museum, well curated over three floors showing the history of the Japanese and their immigration movements to Brazil over the last century or so.

Very interesting and educational museum. Staff are all extremely friendly and helpful. Would recommend to anyone visiting Sao Paolo.

Really interesting museum, it’s well done. It shows everything and the information are always in English, Portuguese and Japanese. Highly recommended to the people that want to know more about the Japanese immigration in Brasil and how it’s developed during the year until now.

As an Aussie it was pretty cool to learn about Japanese history from a completely different perspective. There is a bit of walking and some stairs but there is a lift available.

Worth a visit.

Great museum chronicling the story of Japanese immigrants and the enduring history of that period. Well worth a visit. Difficult to find the entrance. Pay attention to the street number address and look for the green museum sign at the entrance to the Bunkyo building. The museum is inside the museum and accessed through the same entry.

SO PERFECT!!!it has kamen rider and Tokusatsu in general

Interesting and well designed museum that helps you understand Japanese migration in Brazil. Visit will take around 1h.

One of the most satisfying museums I've ever been to. Since I'm a nikkei myself, it was really interesting getting to know the background of my family and what the Japanese went through to thrive in Brazil. Definitely recommend!

Really awesome museum. It explains perfectly how some Japanese people arrived in brasil and started a community.

Nice place! I loved to know more about japanese imigrantes in Brazil! It's easy to go walking from the Subway.

The museum is a great surprise for those who would like to have a better understanding not only of Japanese culture, as well the arise of one of the most important neighbours of São Paulo. The museum retells with catching details the story of immigrants, government relations and depicts with visual examples huge events around the immigration process.

It's a really amazing place, I already knew a lot about Japanese immigration history but it's amazing to see such level of detail, information and history in one place, it's a great experience if you enjoy Japan and Japanese culture too.

It was so informative, well presented and totally worth the visit. I'm so glad that I got to learn this history. :)

Awesome. It tells the true and sad history of the japanese immigration to Brazil.

I don't have enough words to describe this experience. My tips is visit by yourself as soon as possible.

The Liberdade neighborhood is already a great experience but this museum tops it. All the exhibits are put together with amazing attention to detail and beauty. Must visit!

I love this museum which is really interesting. The texts are translated in english that is a very good point. All the History is very clear and well explain
