Chidō Museum, Regional heritage museum in Tsuruoka, Japan
The Chidō Museum showcases traditional crafts, historical artifacts, and cultural exhibits from the Shōnai region in multiple historic buildings within its grounds.
Founded in 1950 through a donation from the Sakai family, the museum occupies the former site of the Sakai clan's administrative quarters near Tsuruoka Castle.
The museum houses 5,350 nationally designated Important Folk Cultural Properties, including materials from the Chidō School and local folk artifacts.
Visitors can reach the museum by taking a 10-minute bus ride from Tsuruoka Station to the Chidō Museum stop, with operating hours from 9:00 to 17:00.
The museum features the relocated Oninden building from 1863, which served as a retirement residence for the ninth lord of the Shōnai domain.
