Kagawa Museum (Kagawa-ken Rekishi Hakubutsukan)

Kagawa Museum (Kagawa-ken Rekishi Hakubutsukan) Review

Just south of the decaying castle park, the Kagawa Museum emphasizes interactive learning with hands-on exhibits—everything from sword-making to woodblock-printing to producing (and playing with) Japanese toys—and an engaging permanent collection. You won't need a lick of Japanese to enjoy walking in a Neolithic hut, crawling with a magnifying glass on the giant photo map of Kagawa, or dressing up in full samurai armor and lush ceremonial kimonos. The museum staff will help you don the costumes and even take a Polaroid for you, and it's all included in the entry fee.
