Odani Castle Sengoku Historical Museum

The museum displays artifacts excavated from Odani Castle site, including weapons, Buddhist ornaments, maps, illustrations, and detailed castle models at the mountain's base.

The museum, opened in October 2007, presents exhibits about the Azai clan who controlled Odani Castle until their defeat by Oda Nobunaga in 1573.

The exhibition rooms contain collections reflecting the social dynamics of the Warring States period through weapons, documents, and personal items of samurai families.

Visitors can explore the museum before hiking to Odani Castle ruins, with combined tickets available for both the museum and nearby Azai Folklore Museum.

The facility preserves archaeological findings from one of Japan's Five Greatest Mountain Castles, situated 495 meters above sea level with strategic views.
