In 1579, the long Sengoku period was coming to an end. Oda Nobunaga finally completed the unprecedented Azuchi Castle and showed the people of the time a brand new world. However, in just three years Nobunaga had been toppled and the castle was burned down, the dream of a new world reduced to ashes…
Let’s go out to see the view that Nobunaga saw in 1579 from the central tower of Azuchi Castle. Then let’s go to 1626’s Nijo Castle to see the peaceful world finally realized 50 years later.
The scenery from Azuchi Castle was unforgettable and came to be passed down to subsequent generations. In this tour, we will visit three locations in pursuit of the dream of this world of peace, handed down from Oda Nobunaga to Toyotomi Hideyoshi and then to the entire Tokugawa Shogun Dynasty: Azuchi Castle, Cypress Trees (folding screen), and Nijo Castle.
So let’s depart – following the guidance of the navigator in the Museum Theater!
