The Kikkawa Historical Museum is dedicated to the legacy of the Kikkawa clan, who ruled Iwakuni during the Edo period. Housed in a former samurai residence, the museum features swords, armor, documents, and art that illustrate the clan's influence and daily life. Visitors can view a reconstructed tea room and stroll through a traditional Japanese garden. The museum offers a quiet, educational experience, contrasting with the more touristy Kintai Bridge.
