The Ōgaki City Local History Museum, located near the castle, provides a deeper look into the evolution of the city from the age of war to the stability of the Edo period. Its exhibits include weapons, armour, and historical documents that recall the turbulence of the Battle of Sekigahara, as well as everyday tools, artworks, and cultural items that reflect the lives of townspeople under the rule of the Toda clan. Visitors gain insight into how the domain expanded its economy through land development and how samurai patronage shaped local traditions such as Noh theatre, tea ceremony, and seasonal festivals. By walking through the museum, travellers can see how Ōgaki grew into a thriving cultural hub and understand the balance between warlike resilience and refined artistry that characterised samurai society.
