【Includes Matchlock Gun (Air Gun) Shooting Experience】 The Castle Hidden in the Forest: Jinguji Castle Sengoku Period Guided Tour

Welcome to the Warring States-era mountain castle hidden in the forest. The Sengoku (Warring States) Period was a time of near-constant civil war and political upheaval, generally spanning from roughly 1467 to 1615.

The ruins of Jinguji Castle are the remnants of a Warring States-era castle complex concealed within the woods. Covering an area roughly equivalent to 1.5 Tokyo Domes (roughly 70,132.5 square meters, or 754,900 sq ft), it is believed to have served as a crucial frontline stronghold during the Kaga Ikkō Ikki uprising. Features characteristic of a Warring States period mountain castle, such as dry moats, earthen bridges, and baileys, still remain on the site. Why not walk through these ruins, immersing yourself in the role of a samurai from the Warring States period? Explore the castle ruins while walking through the beautiful, dappled sunlight of the forest! Plus, refresh yourself with forest bathing!

Finally, experience the thrilling matchlock (air gun) shooting activity that excites both adults and children. Aim the matchlock and slip back in time to the Sengoku period! It's guaranteed to make for great photos.
