Cannabis Museum (Japan)

About

The Cannabis Museum (Hepburn: Taima Hakubutsukan) is a private museum located in Nasu, Tochigi Prefecture, Japan. Founded in December 2001 by Japanese hemp rights advocate Junichi Takayasu, it is the sole museum devoted to the history and cultivation of cannabis in Japan. The museum closed in July 2025 due to government pressure.
