Hiroshima Prefectural Museum of History

The Hiroshima Prefectural Museum of History exhibits archaeological findings from the medieval port town of Kusado Sengen, buried beneath the Ashida River.

The museum, which opened on November 3, 1989, preserves artifacts that document the development of the Setouchi region from prehistoric times through modern periods.

The museum maintains a collection of documents related to Kan Chazan, a Confucian scholar, and displays important national cultural properties from the Edo Period.

Located at 2-4-1 Nishimachi in Fukuyama City, the museum operates from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM and charges 290 yen for adults, with free admission for students.

The Moriya Hisashi Collection contains Japanese and Western maps from the 16th to 19th centuries, documenting cultural exchanges during that period.
