This museum covers the history of Kanagawa Prefecture, which is just to the south of Tokyo. This museum is divided into two sections. One demonstrates Kanagawa Prefecture's role in transportation and popular culture during the Edo Period. The other shows how the influence of Perry's landing in Kanagawa impacted the prefecture and Japan as a whole, and how the prefecture westernized. The collections in this museum was made by the Hojo family and in the museum you can find the portraits of the Hojo family and the priests of the Shonyo-ji temple. This temple is significant in that it's management is responsible for having maintained the museum building.
