Matsue History Museum — Attraction in Matsue

we visited this museum as a prelude to visting the matsue castle. they have a small but high quality collection of local artefacts arranged to present the history of matsue castle. there is an english audio guide available for free as well discount tickets for non japanese. You can get a combo ticket for museum and castle. they have regular art exhibitions. there is an excellent coffee shop...

Genuinely don’t know how Japan is this good at museums. The exhibits are a fantastic mix of traditional artifacts and interactive screens, there’s some really fun models, a fantastic gift shop and cafe, and the staff were some of the nicest I’d encountered on my most recent trip to Japan. Super recommend the cafe, you get to sit in front of a nice Japanese garden complete with a view...

Nice museum. Require removal of shoes to enter - shoes can be stored in provided lockers.

Has a tea house with views of a japanese garden - a few tables with chairs with the main area being tatami covered. Nice macha tea on offer with snacks as sets. There is a display of the traditional Japanese tea house around the end of the hallway.

The souvenir shop is directly across...
