Tsuwano Kyodo-kan Museum

Reference/Local/Exhibition/Literature Museum

A cultural facility established in 1921 at a time when it was the only local history museum in the prefecture. It houses and exhibits a wealth of historical materials ranging from the ancient Jomon period to the present. Originally it was in the Hanko Yorokan's book storehouse but moved to its current location in 1940 as part of a project marking the legendary founding of Japan. The museum houses the rich historical and cultural heritage of the region, including items related to Tsuwano Castle, which was occupied in turn by the Yoshimi, Sakazaki, and Kamei clans. It has displays lots of items worth seeing like materials on Hanko Yorokan, the Tsuwano domain school responsible for training, and a 400-year-old breech-loading swivel cannon, one of only nine remaining in Japan.
