Satake Historical Museum, History museum in Senshū Park, Akita, Japan

The Satake Historical Museum stands near the Ninomaru plaza in Senshū Park, on the site of Kubota Castle. Rebuilt and reopened on 25 October 2025, it is now a two-storey reinforced-concrete building with timber fittings, replacing the earlier single-storey structure. A second-floor deck looks over the park, and exhibits include projection mapping and QR codes in several languages. It displays armour and letters of Satake Yoshishige and Satake Yoshinobu.

The building opened on 18 June 1958 as the Akita City Museum of Art. After the art museum moved to Atorion in 1989, the structure was refitted to house Satake clan materials and reopened in 1990. It closed on 1 July 2022 for rebuilding and reopened on 25 October 2025 as a two-storey reinforced-concrete building with wood detailing.

The museum keeps armour and letters used by Satake Yoshishige and Satake Yoshinao, generations of Satake materials, and manages the Kubota Castle corner turret, the gatehouse of the castle's outer gate and the former Kurosawa residence in Hitotsumori Park. The Satake Historical Museum, Kubota Castle corner turret and former Kurosawa residence share a common ticket.

The museum is open to all visitors, with guided tours available in Japanese to help explain the displayed items and their historical context. Those interested in early modern history and traditional Japanese culture will particularly benefit from viewing the original collections and the building's architecture.

A detailed castle plan from 1849 provides architectural information about the structures that existed during the Satake family's governance period. This blueprint helps visitors imagine how the castle town looked and was organized at that time.
