Tokushima Castle Museum

The Tokushima Castle Museum is a modern building on the former castle grounds that displays regional artifacts and exhibits from different periods. The spaces are designed so visitors can understand the history of the castle and the surrounding Awa Province.

The castle was built during the early Edo period and shaped the political and military importance of the region for centuries. The museum itself opened in 1992 and has since served to preserve and share this historical past.

The displays show samurai armor, ancient manuscripts, and objects from the former Awa Province, reflecting the lives of warriors and residents who lived there. You can see the craftsmanship and artistic works that held meaning for local people.

The museum offers guided tours and has various display areas that are easy to walk through. There is a gift shop with traditional local products, and staff can answer questions about the exhibits.

The building blends modern architecture with traditional Japanese design elements, creating a spatial dialogue between past and present. This thoughtful design makes your visit a visual experience that goes beyond the exhibits themselves.
