Overview

Located in Noda City, Chiba Prefecture, the Chiba Prefectural Sekiyado Castle Museum is a comprehensive prefectural museum focusing on Sekiyado Castle, the former Sekiyado town, and river history. Sekiyado Castle was built in the Edo period by Matsudaira Yasumoto, a half-brother of Tokugawa Ieyasu. At the Sekiyado Castle Museum, you can learn about the history and culture of Sekiyado Castle and the history of Tone River transportation through various materials and exhibits. The museum features a large model of a Takase-bune (a type of river boat), a meticulously recreated model of Sekiyado Castle's keep, and a diorama depicting life in Sekiyado during the Edo period. There are also video materials and a game corner, making it an enjoyable museum for both children and adults. The Sekiyado Castle Museum is located on a super-dike at the point where the Tone River and Edo River branch off. Therefore, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the Tone and Edo Rivers from the museum. Many historical sites such as Sekiyado Castle Site Park and the grave of Sekine Kinjiro are also located nearby. The Sekiyado Castle Museum is a fascinating spot where you can learn about history and culture and connect with nature. Be sure to visit!
