Since many visitors will be passing through other places in the Liberdade neighborhood, they will probably get off at the Japão-Liberdade station, which is about an 8-minute walk away, according to the same app. The Japanese Immigration History Museum is located in the same building as the Brazilian Society of Japanese Culture and Social Assistance (Bunkyo), which is responsible for its administration.

A highlight is the totem that allows descendants of Japanese people to research which ship, date and province their ancestors came from. The eighth floor focuses on the period from the 1930s to the 1950s. There are bathrooms on these two floors. The ninth floor focuses on the late 1950s to the present day.
