Museu Histórico da Imigração Japonesa no Brasil

Excellent museum covering immigration for Japanese people since it’s beginning. The trials, tribulations and successes of the community. Beautifully designed. I spent four hours going through very thoroughly. Well done!

Went on a Wednesday and it was free for us! Got to know so much about the Japanese-Brazilians history and learned a lot! The staff were very friendly! The museum wish very organised and has English for almost 90% of the exhibitions! Very impressive and definitely recommend this to everyone!

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

It's an interesting place if you are into history otherwise it's an ok ok place. You get to see the day to day things used by Japanese 100 yrs back in Brazil and you get to see lot of old photos with lot of readings. You can spend 1 to 2 hrs based on your appetite for knowing the history.

Cost R$20 for adults. Pay on 7th floor. They give you a receipt/ticket which you need to enter the Exhibitions, which are on floora 7, 8, & 9. The displays are in Japonese, Portuguese, and English. I have visited dozens of museums across the globe, and this one is very wepl organized, informative, and creative. You will spend 30 mins to 1 hour on each floor. There are videos throughout. Restrooms on 7th, 8th, & 9th floor. Museum shop and small cafe on 9th floor.

This visit was such a valuable learning experience! The museum is so organized and information so clear, it was a real delight, an absolute must when visiting São Paulo.

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.

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.
