This museum is almost mandatory if you want to have any hope of absorbing the history of the entire Yokoyama area. Yes, as with so many Japanese museums, there is minimal information in English. In a way, that adds to the intrigue and mystery, but your eyes can still take it in...3 floors of staggering depth in historical artefacts, expertly presented and displayed. The huge painted screens, the ferocity of the weapons of war (lances, swords and arrows). The beauty of the fabric in some robes/uniforms, the beauty of the household items (utilitarian but exquisitely decorated). You just shake your head in disbelief at just how skilled the artisans were, and how ferocious warfare was in the samurai period. Show respect, pay the Y800, set aside at least an hour for the 3 floors of displays and enjoy.

I loved it. Not big but the best museum for japanese weapons/armor i have been so far.
Largest museum near of Iwakuni bridge. This three floors museum has an impressive number of samurai clothes and weapons, well arranged and exposed in glasses cases.
It was well laid out and really interesting!
Awesome museum, so much interesting culture to take in!!!
A stunning selection of weapons, armour and artifacts from feudal Japan. No pictures allowed but the quality speaks for itself.
