Uesugi Baron Residence

【Transform into a Warlord or Ninja】 Walk through the castle town starting from a tangible cultural property. Experience history at the 'Uesugi Baron Residence'

The elegant 'Uesugi Baron Residence' stands right next to Uesugi Shrine. This is a nationally registered tangible cultural property built as the residence of Baron Uesugi Mochinori, the last lord of the Yonezawa domain. It is a prestigious site where you can enjoy traditional Yonezawa local cuisine, but the unique activity I recommend here is the 'Kimono Experience' where you can become the protagonist of history.

■ Armor, Kimono, Ninja! Time slip in authentic costumes 
Inside the facility, you can experience the 'armor' that makes you feel the spirit of the Sengoku warlords, the 'kimono' that beautifully reflects the scenery of Yonezawa, and the authentic dressing experience of 'ninja' that excites people of all ages. Not only do you wear the costumes, but combined with the powerful atmosphere of this tangible cultural property, the moment you change, you feel like a samurai or princess from that era. Forget your daily life completely and immerse yourself in the extraordinary romance of history.

■ Stroll around 'Uesugi Shrine' in costume. Everything is the best photo spot 
The greatest pleasure of this experience is that you can stroll around the castle ruins area next to 'Uesugi Shrine' in your transformed appearance. You can watch koi swimming in the moat, cross an old-fashioned bridge, and the costumes perfectly blend into the historical scenery of Yonezawa Castle ruins, allowing you to take the best photos that look like scenes from a movie. Step beyond sightseeing where you only learn by seeing, and enjoy a uniquely memorable time where you become a 'part' of Yonezawa's history.
