Armored Samurai Experience in Hideyoshi’s Castle Town

In Nagahama, often regarded as the “sacred ground of the Sengoku warring state era,” this experience invites you to don authentic samurai armor and embody the spirit of a warlord. Nagahama plays a vital role in Japan’s Warring States history, especially as the site of the notable Battle of Shizugatake—a pivotal moment for Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the second figure of Japan’s three “Great Unifiers,” who was also portrayed as the character Taiko in the hit historical drama Shogun.

This experience lets you wear armor modeled after the warriors who distinguished themselves on Hideyoshi’s side, famously known as the “Seven Spears of Shizugatake,” allowing you to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of that era.
