It is a museum where you can learn more about the castle. It has interactive displays such as putting stones in the castle realia ir display, touchscreen views of where you can see the castle in different angles, a castle made of lego on the 2nd floor and a bit of mini movie about the castle and its history. The displays do not have English translation so I dont think those who can't read Japanese would enjoy this. On the other hand. The movie on the first floor as well has no English subtitles, but the movie on the second floor has. You may translate the captions through an app and they have English translated brochure on the first floor. I can say this museum is child friendly too. Staff is very accommodating and asssited us in purchasing our tickets via machine. Pretty good place to explore in Kumamoto. This place could be very busy specially at a weekend and good weather. We went on a weekend but it was on a rainy day so I would say we dont hve to wait as much...

As an able-bodied person, I'd rate the experience here 3 or 4 stars. But considering the lengths they went to to ensure it was accessible to those with disabilities, I have to give it 5 stars. We saw visitors in motorized wheelchairs being able to tour the castle, which was wonderful. There is an elevator inside as well, and places to sit. The displays are interesting and there is a view of the city at the top. There are QR codes posted throughout to help people read a translation of the information posted.

That being said, if you are someone able to walk and climb stairs, I highly recommend visiting Matsuyama Castle - incredible experience as you get to walk around the actual castle on the old wood and it feels more like you're in a castle.

This castle experience definitely feels more like a museum. Still very lovely and lots of...

Visited in July 2025

The more hands-in, all-age exhibition of the Kumamoto history compared to that in the castle keep. The access is included if one buys the ticket for the museum and the castle (850 yen). The collection and exhibition aren't big, but can be enjoyed by the entire family. For example, the photo set with kimono for a family of four (or more?) and the horse replica with its traditional decoration.

The second floor has this VR-enabled documentaries showing - be sure to check the schedule of...

A small little museum explaining the history of Kumamoto, paying particular attention to the Satsuma rebellion and the aftermath of the 2016 earthquake. There are a quite a few interactive exhibits and videos. The short, 10 minute play was fun and interesting. While there were some English (and other foreign language) placards, they were simple (only the exhibit title with no other information) and not all exhibits had them. The puppet play did have a screen with the actors' translated dialogue.
