Sakai City Museum, Local museum in Sakai, Japan.
The Sakai City Museum occupies a restored former elementary school building featuring traditional Giyofu architecture, combining Japanese and Western design elements.
The museum building, designed by Dutch engineer George Arnold Escher in 1879, served as the Ryusho Elementary School before its transformation into a cultural institution.
The museum displays maritime artifacts, including a one-fifth scale model of a thousand-koku bezai ship and an 11-meter-tall festival float from Mikuni Matsuri.
Located within a 10-minute walk from Mikuni Station on the Echizen Railway line, the museum operates from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with admission fees of 400 yen.
The fourth-floor observation deck provides visitors with panoramic views extending from Mount Hakusan to the Sea of Japan across the Sakai landscape.
