Imabari, Ehime / 村上海賊ミュージアム
Murakami Kaizoku Museum
A museum where you can learn, in an enjoyable, clear way, the story of the Murakami Kaizoku (sea pirates), recognised as Japan Heritage, with many valuable historical and cultural materials such as foreign trade goods and books on strategy. In the hands-on room you can put on armour and kosode robes, and the 3rd floor is an observation room. On the sea in front you can take a tidal-current boat ride around the rapids near Noshima, where the Noshima Murakami clan had its castle.
