Ibaraki Prefectural Museum Of History

The grounds outside the museum are lovely and free to walk through. The displays inside the museum are cool as well, though most displays don’t have any English.

Cheap but not much to see. Everything was in Japanese.

If you have the time the museum is quick and informative with a beautiful garden. On too of all that the entrance fee is inexpensive and English is spoken by several of the staff.

The history displayed ranges from the earliest foundings of sceletons, the Edo times till today. Showing daily live, invtentions and discoveries, and politics during these times. It also bares interactive objects. Sadly I understood almost nothing as besides the brochure there is nothing in English. 2 Stars for my disappointment that a museum displaying the history of Ibaraki has nothing translated.

あまり現代的な博物館ではありませんが、熱心なスタッフたちが茨城県の歴史を伝えるために多くの努力を注いでいました。水戸は観光地というわけではなく、外国からの訪問者もあまり多くないため、博物館の展示やイラストの99.99%には英語表記がありませんでした。しかし、限られた日本語の知識ながらも、訪問をとても楽しむことができました。唯一の願いは、博物館がもう少し大きければよかったということです。
