Kiryu Nature Sanctuary

Over one hundred exotic animals can be seen at the zoo, including lions, giraffes, zebras, flamingoes, and penguins.

A Prefectural Cultural Treasure. Tenmangu is a classic example of Early Modern Period (mid 16th to 18th centuries) "gongen" construction designed for the enshrinement of a Shinto deity. Gables over the Inner Sanctuary and Hall of Offerings are resplendently finished in elaborate detail. Tenmangu is representative of the most highly developed architectural techniques of its era and as such has been designated a Prefecture Treasure.

The Okawa Museum of Art opened in April 1989 overlooking the city of Kiryu, a textile center. About 1,600 works of art have been collected over a period of 40 years by the museum's founder, Eiji Okawa. The museum, deceptively small on first notice, is built in stages on the hillside and provides its visitors with an amazing number of rooms to peruse its incredibly rich collection. Largest collection of works of art by Shunsuke Matsumoto and Hideo Noda in Japan. Other works of art by prominent artists from around the world.

Former warehouses converted to art galleries. Includes the Kiryu Karakuri Ningyo (Mechanical Doll) Theatre. From the Meiji to the Showa Era, the Tenmangu Shrine Festival featured various theatre performances of elaborately made mechanical dolls. These masterfully made dolls are a treasure of Japanese Performing Arts history

Built as the Gunma Prefecture Public Health Centre in 1878, it is a classic example of pseudo-Western architecture. Inside there are exhibition rooms and a coffee/tea shop featuring a nostalgic gramophone and music of the era.

One of the oldest buildings in Western-style architecture in the prefecture. Inside, local antiquities are displayed.
