This is a history museum in the east of Matsue Castle, and is a facility to introduce the history and culture of the Matsue castle town. The building is deeply influenced by the samurai residence style, and houses the national treasures “Matsue Castle Tower Prayer Notes.” The standard exhibit features original items and video materials connected to the Matsue domain and the lives and livelihoods in the castle town. At the building’s high-grade Japanese fresh confections teahouse “Kissa Kiharu,” on top of enjoying tea while looking out over the castle tower and gardens, one can watch the work of artisan Tsugio Itami. Alight at JR Matsue Station and take the municipal bus to Shiomi Nawate.

Reviewed:2019/05/08 Good place to learn about the history to Matsue

Interesting display of History of Matsue. Go and request for the audio guide so you would be able to understand fully what the display shows

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...

Reviewed:2019/03/20 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.
