Koga History Museum

The museum building designed by Keiji Yoshida integrates three permanent exhibition rooms displaying historical materials, Dutch studies documents, and calligraphic artworks.

The museum stands on the former site of Koga Castle, which served as an administrative center until its dismantling in 1873 after the Meiji Restoration.

Exhibition Room 1 contains materials related to Dutch studies compiled by Senseki Takami, a retainer of the Koga domain during the Edo period.

Located 15 minutes on foot from Koga Station, the museum welcomes visitors from 9:00 to 17:00 with admission fees of 400 yen for adults.

The museum houses a Dutch street organ in its main hall, representing the cultural exchange between Japan and the Netherlands during the Edo period.
