Saga Prefectural Nagoya Castle Museum

4.0

A museum situated along National Route 204 in Nagoya, Chinzei-machi, Karatsu City. The museum's standing exhibition looks at the history of exchange between the Japanese archipelago and the Korean peninsula, exploring Toyotomi Hideyoshi's invasions at 1592 and 1598 as well as Saga's involvement with the Korean delegations to Japan during the Edo period (1603-1868). The museum also displays artefacts exhumed during excavations of the Special Historic Site-designated Nagoya Castle Ruins and Encampment Sites. Visitors can also walk the ruins of the castle and see what Nagoya Castle looked like in its glory using a tablet computer and computer generated graphics.

建物は立派ですが、展示と運営スタッフは質が悪い

驚きです。「名護屋城博物館」というより「朝鮮・秀吉侵略軍撃退博物館」という感じです。朝鮮側からの視点が多く「どこの国の博物館？」という感じです。はっきり言うと「反日教育施設」です。運営スタッフの質も悪く、受付の若い男女は私語のおしゃべりが館内に響く状況ですし、黄金茶室の中年女性スタッフも愛想が悪くやる気ゼロです。建物だけは立派です。
