Like all war memorials, it is extremely sad as to what one human will do to another .the devastation depicted here is worse.

Even though I am not fluent in Japanese, they have enough English sprinkled into the museum for English speakers to enjoy the museum and get the most important information. Not worth it to come on its own, but if you have the My-Yu pass, definitely come by! The roof has one of the best views in the area too

Sakamoto Ryoma was an important person in Japan history. There are exhibitions about the story and replicas of letters in the museum. We spent about 1 hour in this spot.

A good compact sized museum that is dedicated to Sakamoto Ryoma a Shogun who played an important role in the Edo period. There are bits and pieces of English descriptions however it’s not really enough to completely immerse yourself in the history. It’ll take around 45mins-1hour to finish the viewing. Sadly the video demonstrations are in Japanese with Japanese subtitles.

Interesting Museum with history of Mr Sakamoto Ryoma - recently renovated with lots of cute cartoons to brighten up the short life of Mr Ryoma. Most exhibits in Japanese with English translation. Museum has a great view of the coast at the roof top - great for selfies. Get the Day Pass for MyBus - 50% discount for overseas visitors 🤣I would recommend it for any visitors to Kochi. U can take a short walk down the beach after the Museum visit. Great place to cool down n relax.
