Nobunaga no Yakata Museum

The Nobunaga no Yakata Museum features a full-scale reconstruction of Azuchi Castle's keep, displaying architectural elements from the late 16th century.

The original Azuchi Castle, constructed in 1579, represented the first high-rise wooden structure in Japan before its destruction by fire three years later.

The museum exhibits reveal medieval Japanese customs through displays of traditional banquet arrangements and specific ingredients used during the Sengoku period.

Located 25 minutes on foot from JR Biwako Line Azuchi Station, the museum opens daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM except Mondays.

Visitors experience virtual reality reconstructions of Azuchi Castle based on archaeological findings and historical documentation from the Kaga domain.
