Marugame City History and Folklore Museum

The Marugame City History and Folklore Museum sits at the base of Marugame Castle and displays regional discoveries, documents, and traditional objects across a modern building. The collection spans objects from different periods of the city's past.

The museum opened in 1972 and documents how Marugame developed from ancient times onward. It preserves evidence of the region's role as both a castle town and trading center.

The galleries show local crafts and objects from daily life that reveal how people in Marugame lived and worked across generations. You can observe how traditions and skills changed over time through the items on display.

The museum is right next to the castle and easy to reach on foot when visiting the castle grounds. Signs around the area help you locate the building quickly.

The museum holds several objects connected to Nikkari Aoe, an important figure from the region's medieval past. These steel items and personal belongings offer insight into that era.
