With the theme of "Dialogue with Things," we will introduce the history that was nurtured through cultural exchange between East and West Japan. Items belonging to the Kameyama feudal lord and models of Kameyama Castle and Kameyama-juku are on display.

The castle was built in 1590 by Munenori Okamoto. The castle tower was lowered in the 9th year of Kan'ei (1632) during the reign of Yasumori Miyake, and the current Tamon Yagura was built on the ruins of the castle tower during the Shoho era (1644-1648) when Shunji Honda was the castle's lord.
It is a one-story building with painted white walls, a gabled roof, and gables on three sides, east, west, north, and was used as an armory during peacetime.
As the only remaining castle building in the prefecture, it was designated as a prefectural historic site in 1952, and it is full of rustic charm, especially during the cherry blossom season and snowfall, and the Tamon Yagura, which towers over the high stone wall, still retains the same atmosphere as it did in the past.
