#JulyGoodPlace2025

✓Kagamoto Museum

It is located next to the Ishikawa Prefectural Museum of History and is the last of the four red brick buildings of the Army Armory. The collections in the Kagamoto Museum are mostly armor, helmets, samurai swords, guns and other weapons passed down from generation to generation in the Kagamoto family, as well as daily necessities and utensils. In addition, there are many gifts and ancient documents given by the Maeda family.

The museum has preserved the samurai culture of the Edo period to this day, allowing people to feel the atmosphere of the castle town of Kanazawa. The admission ticket is ¥400, or you can buy the Ishikawa Prefectural Museum of History common ticket for ¥500. Take the Hokuriku Railway Bus and get off at the "Hirosaka‧21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art" station, and walk about 8 minutes to arrive.
