The Azuchi Castle Museum features a detailed 1:20 scale model of the original castle, showcasing its complex seven-story internal structure and five-tier external design.
Constructed in the late 16th century by Oda Nobunaga, Azuchi Castle introduced revolutionary architectural elements and served as the first Japanese castle with a proper tower keep.
The museum exhibits display traditional samurai armor, historical documents, and artifacts that demonstrate the progression of Japanese castle architecture during the Sengoku period.
