If you are interested in history at all, this little museum quite close to the castle will keep you occupied for an hour at least, although I suspect we were there longer. They provide a free English...
Well presented and interesting

A small museum with an excellent layout. I enjoyed the animated history and the collection of antiques... it made the Samari history of Matsue come alive.
