glimpsing the heritage of Uwajima's history

The remnants of the fortress breathe in the old town

The Uwajima City History Museum, standing by the sea in Uwajima, is a relocated Meiji Western-style building that was once built as a police station in the city. The stately exterior and spacious interior are highlights, with the emotions of the Bakumatsu period still vividly preserved.

Timeless structural beauty

The splendid curve of the second-floor balcony, considered difficult to reproduce even by modern craftsmen, is a must-see. Attention to detail is felt, and one cannot help but admire the craftsmanship of the past.

Reflecting on history

The museum exhibits the development of Uwajima as a castle town. It reveals the transition of the town, starting from the castle built on the island and gradually reclaimed land. Take a break from the busyness of daily life and leisurely contemplate the history of Uwajima.

In this simple yet charming space, one can immerse oneself in the feeling of living in the Bakumatsu period. A leisurely stroll on a casual holiday is sure to be a special experience.
