Activity itinerary

Kiyosu Castle

30m

Our first destination is Kiyosu Castle, the stronghold where Oda Nobunaga built his early power. Your guide will explain how rival clans, shifting loyalties, and strategic marriages shaped this period. Inside the castle, you will view samurai armour and exhibits that bring the era to life. You are able to stand at the top of the castle and look out over the land Nobunaga used as his base to launch campaigns that began the unification of Japan.

Azuchi Castle Museum

45m
Admission ticket included

Our next stop is at the Azuchi Castle Museum’s Nobunaga Hall. Here you will discover the height of Nobunaga's rise to power and see for yourself the huge amount of wealth and power he held through the reconstructed castle keep and the collection of preserved artefacts from the Sengoku era.

Shiga Prefecture (Pass by)

We will stop for lunch at a roadside restaurant featuring local dishes of the region including Omi-gyu (wagyu). If you have any dietary restrictions, please prepare a bento box ahead of time as changes to menu items are typically not possible.
