Kamakura City Kawakita Film Memorial Museum

Kamakura Sta. Area

With the aim of developing film culture in Kamakura City, it opened in April 2010 on the site of the former residence of Mr. and Mrs. Nagamasa and Kashiko Kawakita, who greatly contributed to the development of film. We exhibit film materials and screen movies. You can also view movie-related materials and search the web. We also hold courses, lectures, and workshops throughout the year.
The building is a one-story Japanese-style building that creates a calm atmosphere. It has the image of a Sukiya-zukuri style and is in harmony with the surrounding environment. The board fence has also been restored to its original appearance. The exhibition room’s bright and wide openings offer views of the lush garden.
