Overview

The Kaikoku Kinenkan Museum, located near Hikone Castle, commemorates the achievements of Ii Naosuke and the opening of Japan to the world. Housed in a reconstructed Sawaguchi Tamon Yagura turret, the museum features exhibits on the history of Hikone and Hikone Castle, including a detailed Lego model. Admission is free, making it a worthwhile stop before exploring the castle grounds. Allow about 30 minutes to an hour to explore the exhibits. It's an ideal spot to learn about the castle's history and defensive features before your visit.
