History Museum Museum
Inspect an array of artifacts relating to the Edo period, and even earlier periods, at Nagahama Castle Historical Museum. The replica castle was rebuilt in 1983 following the advice of a professor of historical architecture from Tokyo Kogyo University, and was erected within the remaining walls of the original 16th-century castle, which was demolished by the Tokugawa regime in 1615. Exploring the internal museum, you'll come across displays of historic firearms, samurai swords and armor, photographs, and telescopes. Climb to the fifth floor to treat yourself to picturesque vistas across the neighboring lake.

    It is a castle that Hideyoshi built. I stopped by before heading out to Hikone Castle. Is that little section of the stone wall was moved to Hikone Castle. The sunset was beautiful. Then, please stop by. Could not find the Museum because it was evening is regret.

    His first visit. Inside is a museum. 400 yen per person. Historical Hideyoshi with this age is the most interesting. On-site parking is free in 3 hours.

    Nagahama Castle was completely destroyed in the Tensho earthquake rolling sealing of the successive Lords such as the castle was in the early days of the Edo period. Have survived almost remains recycled, Hikone Castle, near the temples, shrines and ruins remains. It is a restored Castle was restored in 1983, imagine from Nagahama Castle and his contemporaries, including advice, specialist of the history of the castle was the first place any kind of record, there. To use as a Museum, but is said to have had a plan to restore the wooden, was restored in reinforced concrete. I think unlikely and advisers not convincing about restored in reinforced concrete seems to come in, but that first there in such circumstances Nagahama Castle Museum is visited on the assumption that visitors from this particularly seem frustrated. Important museum exhibition is Nagahama Castle history focusing on medieval history of Hubei (warring States period) General, shall be handled with. I think (staff I) because it is the Municipal Museum content does not constitute disappointing thing is expected. Special exhibitions are also held occasionally, so take a look at it and what I think. Also located in Nagahama Castle Museum, Park and for its plum blossoms, could also go to the plum season. In addition, because the angle is felt the most in real size of Lake Biwa in Shiga Prefecture is Lake Biwa Nagahama enjoying the views from the rich parks along the shore?

    Is not the place to come at the Castle looking for (only in Museum) views from the Castle often watched on beautiful Lake Biwa player. Spring is a beautiful cherry blossom I wonder. Hotel is clean and easy to navigate. Yutaka Park is wide. It was far from the car park. What time do you?

Where to stay in Nagahama

©
With accommodations ranging from traditional Japanese ryokans to Western-style high-rise hotels, Nagahama offers plenty of places to stay. The majority of the city's lodgings lie within walking distance from the station, also putting the main attractions at your doorstep. Traditional lodgings on the waterfront and at the edge of the central park are popular, with many providing onsite restaurants and luxurious private onsens. If you're traveling on a shoestring, a smattering of more modest complexes lies farther back from the waterfront, equipped with all the basic amenities required for a good night's sleep.
