The world's first facility dedicated solely to towel culture.
Described by its operator as the world's first facility entirely dedicated to towel culture, the gallery shows the production process and works of art woven in terry cloth, next to a European-inspired garden. Imabari has made towels since the Meiji period and is today the largest textile district of its kind in Japan.
A museum and commercial complex dedicated to the Imabari towel industry, with a gallery that charges admission, a garden, restaurants and shops.
ℹ️ Open all year, 9:30–18:00 (last entry to the gallery 30 minutes before). The ticket price has not been confirmed from an official source: secondary sources give 800 yen for adults, to be checked on towelmuseum.com before relying on it.
