A compact but comprehensive museum about the history of shogi, with impressive displays on how pieces are made, some gorgeous sets, and reams of information on grandmasters through the years. Displays are only in Japanese, but the front desk can provide an excellent English booklet, and the exhibits are easy to follow. Next door is a small shogi parlor; if you arrive on a day the museum is closed, hang out in front looking disappointed, and someone may take pity and let you in.

広重美術館
This museum has a small collection of prints and artifacts related to the ukiyo-e master, Hiroshige. It is not intended to cover his entire career, focusing mostly on lesser-known work that he did for the Tendo samurai clan. Descriptive materials are only in Japanese. Upstairs are a decent-sized library and another gallery for temporary (non-Hiroshige) exhibits.
