Sado Legend Hall

Sado Legend Hall is a museum located in Sado City in Sado Island, Niigata Prefecture.
Here dolls tell you stories about the history of Sado Island in the 1200s. They introduce traditional roots of Sado mainly about people appearing in the medieval Japanese history, such as Zeami, who developed Noh (a major form of Japanese traditional performing arts), and Emperor Juntoku, who was exiled to Sado Island. The museum precisely reproduces many of the famous historical scenes. In addition, there is also an exhibition hall for the craft works by Sasaki Shodo, a living national treasure from Sado who was a successful metal casting craftsman.
At the store, you can purchase specialty products of Sado such as Japanese sweets and folk art items which are unique to Sado Legend Hall. At the restaurant, you can enjoy seafood of Sado in the middle of a Japanese garden.
