With a selection of some the finest treasures and artifacts out there, alongside a collection of items from all over the world that are rich in both beauty and substance, the “Kyushu National Museum” has many hands on exhibits, which gives visitors the chance to get a real feeling for the grand scale of history that unfolded across Japan and Asia.

One of the most charming and exciting aspects of this museum is the wide range of events that they host. From classical recitals to ethnic music performances in the Museum Hall, you can experience all kinds of concerts and shows. They also host an abundance of hands-on events that guests can get involved with.

Why not combine your visit to the museum with a trip to the Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine?
