Museum of Ehime History and Culture, Prefectural history museum in Seiyo, Japan
The Museum of Ehime History and Culture is a history museum in Seiyo with four main exhibition halls. These halls display artifacts and full-scale reconstructions spanning from prehistoric periods through the modern era.
The museum opened in 1994 in the former town of Uwa, which later merged with surrounding communities to create Seiyo city. This consolidation brought together several regions with shared historical roots.
The reconstructed buildings and shrine displays show how people lived and celebrated throughout different periods of Ehime. Walking through these spaces gives a sense of the region's customs and community traditions.
Access the museum by taking an express train to Unomachi Station, then enjoying a short walk through the surrounding area. Plan to spend a couple of hours exploring the halls at a comfortable pace.
The museum's library holds a remarkable collection of documents and objects that trace the development of Ehime prefecture across centuries. This archive offers insights that go beyond what the main halls display.
