This small museum is located in an alley in Kurashiki's Bikan Historical Quarter. Look for the Victor dog on the roof, and parents and children can enjoy the approximately 2,000 piggy banks.
Located on the second floor of the antique mall "Kurashiki Sanyodo," the Kurashiki Piggy Bank Museum is within walking distance of the center of the scenic area. This museum specializes in "Japanese piggy banks." Made from a variety of materials, including tin, ceramic, and iron, and spanning eras from the Meiji and Taisho eras to corporate novelties and anime characters, approximately 2,000 items are crammed into glass cases. The Victor dog figurines lined up on the roof are a landmark, making this a spot you'll want to snap photos of from the moment you spot them.

The exhibits are designed to be both nostalgic and educational. They offer insights into pre- and postwar lifestyles, savings culture, and the evolution of design linked to world expos and fashion, providing ample opportunity for conversation across generations. While small in size, the theme is clear, making this an "experiential mini-museum" that's sure to satisfy even a 30-45-minute visit. The building also houses an antique shop, allowing you to enjoy both museum-going and antique hunting.
