Higashiura Town Local History Museum

Flow of the course

About this spot

A local history museum introducing the history and daily life of Higashiura Town (東浦町). This land corresponds to Ogawa (緒川), where Lady Odai, mother of Tokugawa Ieyasu (徳川家康), was born, and it displays materials concerning the Mizuno clan (水野氏) along with items excavated from sites around the town. In the farm tool and household object corners, children's eyes go wide at shapes utterly unlike anything they know. The exhibition rooms are compact, so even small children can make a full circuit while their attention holds, which is just right. Spend the cool morning hours indoors and save your energy for the afternoon water play.

Tips

Check closed days and opening hours on the town's official website in advance. The galleries are a place to stay quiet, so a word to small children beforehand keeps things smooth. Explaining the connection to Kenkon-in Temple (乾坤院), which you visit next, gives children a purpose for the visit.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour. The morning, before the sun grows strong, is most comfortable
