MK Guide Recommends
Set in the peaceful countryside of Azuchi—once the location of Oda Nobunaga’s revolutionary castle—the Nobunaga no Yakata Museum vividly showcases one of Japan’s most ambitious architectural achievements. The museum’s main attraction is a full-scale reconstruction of Azuchi Castle’s ornate tenshu (main tower), built from surviving Edo-period drawings and records. Decorated in bright blue and gold and embellished with detailed interior ornamentation, the replica provides a rare look into the luxurious aesthetics of Sengoku-era power. In addition to the replica, the museum exhibits detailed information about Nobunaga’s political ideas, techniques for castle construction, and archaeological discoveries from the nearby original site. Visiting here pairs well with a hike to the actual Azuchi Castle Ruins, just a short distance away. For enthusiasts of samurai history and Japan’s unification era, this museum is a must-see.
