If you are interested in Japan history, this place is not a bad place. Though Japan is not very big islands, it has long and complex history. Every place has every history. I had not known history in Ibaraki, but learned a lot in details. This kind of details about local history is still difficult to find even though the Internet has a lot of information.

I came to the museum to see the old buildings on the site. There is a primary school from the Meiji period. One of its exhibits is a timeline of school meals through the 20th century. There is an old wooden building which served as a meeting hall for farmers, a traditional rural dwelling with thatched roof, and a watermill, as well as the museum building itself.
