Chiba Prefectural Sekiyado-jō Museum, Castle museum at the confluence of Tone and Edo Rivers in Noda, Japan
The Chiba Prefectural Sekiyado-jō Museum occupies a levee-side location and features a four-story tower structure offering views across the Kanto plain and nearby waterways. The museum houses collections documenting river navigation, local commerce, and how communities developed along these water routes.
The original fortification was built in 1590 by Matsudaira Yasumoto to control river traffic in northern Kanto following the Hōjō clan's defeat. The structure was demolished in 1875, but the tower museum now preserves its strategic legacy.
The exhibits explore how river commerce shaped local life and industry, showing visitors the deep connection between waterways and the communities that depended on them.
Reach the museum by bus from Tobu Dobutsukoen Station or Kawama Station, which offer regular daily connections. Visiting in the morning provides better light for viewing the tower and enjoying the water views.
The tower houses a reproduction of the Fujimi Yagura watchtower from Edo Castle, painstakingly reconstructed in 1995 using historical records as a guide. This faithful replica shows visitors what these defensive structures of Japan's greatest castle actually looked like.
