Goto Tourism and History Museum

Goto Tourism and History Museum (五島観光歴史資料館) offers an engaging window into the cultural and historical legacy of the Goto Islands. Located on the former site of Fukue Castle in the heart of Fukue town, the museum is part of a thoughtfully reconstructed complex that evokes the atmosphere of the original domain. While the original castle no longer stands, its stone moat and elegant layout remain visible, offering visitors a glimpse into the area's former grandeur.

The museum is housed in one of two modern buildings designed in traditional style. Inside, exhibits explore the island’s samurai heritage, the influence of Christianity in the region, and daily life on the Goto Islands through maps, artifacts, and interactive displays. Next door, the second reconstructed building serves as the local library, further establishing the site as a hub for cultural exploration. The surrounding grounds are peaceful and walkable, making it an enjoyable and enriching stop for travelers interested in history, architecture, or island life.
