Saga Prefectural Nagoya Castle Museum

The Saga Prefectural Nagoya Castle Museum, located in Karatsu, Saga Prefecture, Japan, was inaugurated in 1993. The museum is situated on the site of the historic Nagoya Castle, which was constructed in 1591 and served as a base for Hideyoshi's invasion of Korea. This historical context provides a unique backdrop for the museum and its exhibits.

Exhibits and Themes at the Museum

The Saga Prefectural Nagoya Castle Museum showcases a variety of objects and documents that have been excavated from the castle site. These exhibits are centered around three main themes: the history of exchanges between the Japanese archipelago and the Korean peninsula, the preservation of the "special historical site" of Nagoya Castle, and the cultural and academic exchanges between Japan and Korea. These themes provide a comprehensive understanding of the historical and cultural significance of the site.
