It is one of the unique museums in the city. The architecture is made up of modern glass and has a concrete design that is very innovative and creative. The museum was crafted by a famous Japanese architect Tange Kenzo in 2007 and stands upon the ruins of former castle of Himeji. Coming here is like walk down the path of Japanese history with every event vividly dancing in front of one’s eyes. The facts are on point and vast and offers great insight on city’s history and culture. The information is relayed via large scale models, castle replicas and greatly organised exhibitions. A great place to come with children and brush up your knowledge on the country’s history.
