There is an impressive collection of artifacts from Shimada personal collection that he gathered over his life time. It is a good collection of helmets and some weapons. There are explanations in Japanese and English. My visit was very worthwhile and easy to reach by taxi or B-line tram with a short walk. Parking is available for ~8 cars if you drive here.
