The anime Nintama Rantaro is NHK’s longest-running animated series and is now a beloved national anime enjoyed across generations. The original work for this anime is “Rakudai Ninja Rantaro” by Amako Soubei, who was born in Amagasaki and has continued drawing manga there. The Amako Soubei Manga Gallery, showcasing her works with a focus on the original drawings of Rakudai Ninja Rantaro, has opened inside the Kaimei Government Building in Amagasaki. This is the first permanent space in Japan dedicated to exhibiting Amako’s original drawings. Making use of a former elementary school building, the gallery features a display space inspired by the “Ninjutsu Academy,” as well as a shop corner and an area where fans can gather and interact. Though small in scale, it is a unique and charming gallery.

The mansion of the wealthy farmer family Fujii has been restored and opened to the public as an art museum. Situated on approximately 3,000 square meters of land, it features the main house built in 1890, a Western-style building from the Taisho period with reception rooms and a study, a detached guesthouse built in the early Showa period, and warehouses. All structures, walls, and gates are designated as national registered tangible cultural properties and prefectural designated landscape-forming important structures. The buildings reflect the characteristics of each era, showcasing valuable and rare woods and the craftsmanship of skilled carpenters. Hidden rooms can also be explored.

The "KOBE MARITIME MUSEUM", which features a large roof with a white space structure evoking the image of sails of a sailing ship running through the vast ocean and sea waves, opened in 1987 to commemorate the 120th anniversary of the opening of the modern Port of Kobe. Then reopened in 2020 under the theme of "the journey of Kobe and its port". Here visitors can explore the structure of ships, the charm of cruise ships, port facilities, and by seeing how the port has been transforming through "exhibition of real objects", "diorama models", "videos" and "graphics", they're introduced in an easy-to understand manner to the "past", "present" and "future" of the sea, ships and ports. Adjacent to the museum is the "Kawasaki Good Times World" which opened in 2006, a corporate museum of Kawasaki Heavy Industries Group that has worked hand in hand with the port of Kobe since its opening.

Himeji City Museum of Literature was established in April 1991 as part of the celebration of the centennial of the foundation of Himeji City to remember literary figures associated with Himeji and the rest of the Harima area, collect literary materials, encourage research and study of literature, and serve as a center of literary activities.
Located northwest of Himeji Castle, a National Treasure, the museum buildings were designed by world-renowned architect, Tadao Ando. The impressive appearance of the buildings is a pleasant addition to the historical district.
The North Wing houses the "Gallery to Trace the History of Himeji Castle" that offers visitors insights into the history of Himeyama Hill where Himeji Castle is located and stories associated with the castle, and the "Forest of Words Gallery" that introduces the appeal of writers and their works through their words, while the South Wing has the Ryotaro Shiba Memorial Room. These exhibitions do not just showcase literary materials, but they impress visitors with their unique approach to literature.
In addition, the museum offers a diverse range of information through special exhibitions, lectures and events.
