Kitsuki Castle Town Museum

Reference/Local/Exhibition/Literature Museum
This museum, a five-minute drive from the Kitsuki Interchange on the Oita Airport Road, is located in Kitsuki City's Kitadai area and introduces the history of the area. The museum collects and preserves cultural properties and historically valuable materials; engages in research and excavations; and presents its findings to the public through its exhibits. A 3D diorama in the first floor lobby reveals the structure of the former castle town; an elaborately-decorated coach used in the local Tenjin Festival is also displayed here. The second floor is dedicated to samurai culture and lifestyles and displays records from the town's government office as well as items which reveal the culture of the townspeople. On the third floor, visitors can learn about Kitsuki kabuki, industry, folklore, and cultural properties through videos.

  • 建物は立派

    入るとすぐにお祭りで使う山車があります。かなり立派は山車です。城下町の大規模な模型やしっとういの加工機等の展示があります。観光中の休憩所としていいかも
  • 杵築城下町のジオラマがいい

    一階には祭りの屋台が置いてあり、2,3階が資料館となっている。杵築の城下町のジオラマというかミニチュアが町全体の様子を理解するのに、参考になる。その他では杵築出身の有名人として山本五十六の同期で先見の明があったのか、太平洋戦争になる前に、中将で予備役に入った方の事をその後も含めて、詳しく説明されていた。ここも有料なので、館内をガイドしてもらえる。またこの資料館をでて、ちょっと行くと展望台があり...
  • 昨年5月に行きました

    昨年5月にJR九州のウォーキングツアーに参加してゴールに行く途中に立ち寄りました。杵築の城下町の歴史を学びました。
