The National Museum of Japanese History is one of the largest national history museums in Japan, exhibiting all periods of Japanese history and culture. The museum opened in March 1983 in a corner of the Sakura Castle ruins in Sakura City, Chiba Prefecture. It is a temple of history with a grand total floor space of 38,000 square meters on a site of approximately 130,000 square meters.

As an inter-university research institute, it conducts surveys and research with researchers from universities and other institutions in Japan and abroad, and exhibits the results.
There are about 10,000 exhibits, including actual materials from history, archaeology, and folklore, as well as reconstructed models.
The museum is divided into six exhibition rooms according to time period and theme, allowing visitors to deepen their understanding of how the Japanese people lived and what kind of culture they built.
One of the highlights of the museum is the view of the seasonal nature of Sakura Castle Ruins.

The museum is also established together with the "Kurashi no shokubutsu-en / Botanical Garden of Everyday Life," which systematically grows and exhibits plants that have supported people's lives and culture since ancient times.
