Japan’s Only Experience at a Reconstructed Wooden Castle!

Shiroishi Castle is one of only five castles in Japan to have its original structure reconstructed in wood. Experience what it is like to be a samurai at this one-of-a-kind location as you explore inside and outside the castle grounds! Fulfill your dream of becoming a warrior in this unique historical setting.

Weighing over 15 Kilograms! Experience Authentic Armor.

We offer three types of armor, including a set modeled after the famous Date Masamune, the legendary ruler of Sendai. In addition to adult sizes, we provide armor for children so the whole family can participate. You will feel like a true sengoku warlord in these authentic, artisan-crafted suits.

Optional Professional Photography.

Professional photography is available as an option. We can capture both photos and videos, making it easy for you to share your experience on social media!
