Ishikawa Prefectural History Museum, Kanazawa-Shi

Formerly an army depot and then the Kanazawa College of Art, the prefecture has named the red brick building a cultural asset. The attractive displays include historical videos, customs of the Japan Sea Coast region, historical material and documents, as well as excavated haniwa clay figures. Note that there are some interesting hands-on interactive exhibits. There is a replica to scale of a daimyo procession to Edo, a nostalgic reminder of feudal days.
