Museum sights in Tsuruoka

1. Chidō Hakubutsukan

   • Tsuruoka, Japan
   • Sights › Museum

   Founded in 1950 by the former Lord Shōnai in order to develop and preserve local culture, this museum features Sakai-family artefacts, a family residence, two Meiji-era buildings, a traditional storehouse and a kabuto-zukuri (a farmhouse with a thatched roof shaped like a samurai helmet).

   The museum is on the southwest corner of Tsuruoka-kōen, the site of the former Sakai castle. You can either walk for about 15 minutes southwest from JR Tsuruoka Station, or take a bus from stop 1 – frequent buses bound for Yunohama Onsen pass by the Chidō Hakubutsukan-mae stop (¥200, 10 minutes).
