A quiet, well-curated museum focused on the history of the region — from castle life and merchant families to local crafts and everyday tools. The permanent exhibition offers a steady glimpse into the area's past, while the temporary one changes throughout the year.

Be sure to check out the museum’s gift shop—it has a few interesting items, including Matsumoto-style Daruma dolls with thick eyebrows that represent silkworms, a nod to the region’s history of silk production. You’ll also find unique stamps and beautifully designed postcards.

You can buy tickets for each separately or get a combined pass at a discount.
