Overview

Island museum on the Murakami pirate clan's fierce tidal strait stronghold.

Perched on Oshima Island overlooking the fierce Kurushima Strait tidal currents, this museum chronicles the Murakami seafarers who controlled Seto Inland Sea shipping during the Warring States period. Interactive exhibits include period armor, navigation charts, and scale model warships. The museum terrace offers direct views of the whirlpools that made the Murakami's mastery of local currents so valuable.
