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.

We went on a weekend but it was on a rainy day so I would say we dont hve to wait as much...

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...
