Hagi Museum

The Hagi Museum occupies a former samurai residence in the traditional architecture preservation district, with galleries displaying local history and regional culture. The exhibition spaces showcase different aspects of life and development in this historic town.

The museum opened in 2004 on the grounds of the former Ohno Mori family estate in this preserved Edo-period castle town. The location carries the memory of the area's long history and regional importance.

The museum contains exhibition zones dedicated to Hagi studies, displaying artifacts related to the Choshu Domain, Meiji Restoration, and regional development.

The museum is open to visitors daily with friendly access and parking spaces available for different types of vehicles. The building sits centrally in the old town area and is easy to reach on foot.

A separate traditional gate building within the complex displays household items and shop signs from the early to mid-Showa period, offering a window into daily life of past generations. This collection makes the everyday world of that era feel real and tangible.
