A Unique Experience at Shiroishi Castle!

Take part in a unique samurai movie-filming experience. You can even recreate scenes from your favorite period dramas or films! Sharing your video on social media is sure to grab everyone’s attention.

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.

Ideal for Team Building!

Even though there are set scripts and roles, you are free to customize them! Regardless of age or gender, this is a collaborative experience where participants and staff work together to create the best possible production.
