KOBE三國志花園, Historical museum in Chuo-ku, Kobe, Japan
KOBE Sangokushi Garten is a history museum that holds thousands of objects spanning different periods, from ancient artifacts to artworks and written sources. The collection documents the long story of the region through items discovered and gathered over many years.
The museum was founded in 1982 when two separate institutions dedicated to archaeology and art merged into one. This combination brought together two important collections that had grown independently.
The name reflects its role as a keeper of stories about how this city developed and changed over time. Visitors encounter objects and documents that show how residents lived and shaped the place across different periods.
The museum sits within walking distance of nearby train stations and opens most days of the week. Visitors should check the opening hours in advance, as these vary slightly on different days throughout the week.
The collection contains a remarkable set of historical maps gathered by two dedicated collectors over many decades. These maps reveal how different regions of Japan were mapped and understood in past centuries.
