【Transform into a Sengoku warlord or ninja】 Walk through the castle town starting from tangible cultural properties. The hall of historical experiences, "Uesugi Baron Residence"

Next to Uesugi Shrine stands the elegant "Uesugi Baron Residence." 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 don't miss the "Kimono Experience" where you can become the protagonist of history.

■ Armor, Kimono, Ninja! Time slip in authentic costumes

Inside the building, special activities are prepared where you can wrap yourself in authentic costumes while feeling the breath of history.

  • Diverse lineup: Experience the spirit of Sengoku warlords with "armor," stand out in the city of Yonezawa with a "kimono," and transform into a popular "ninja" that appeals to all generations.
  • The power of a heavy space: By changing clothes in a genuine space that is a tangible cultural property, you can immerse yourself in an extraordinary romance as if you have instantly become a samurai or princess from that era.

■ Stroll around "Uesugi Shrine" in costume. Everything is the best photo spot.

The greatest pleasure of this experience is being able to stroll around the castle ruins area in your transformed appearance.

  • A scene from a movie: The costumes blend perfectly into the scenery of Uesugi Shrine, with its moats and old-fashioned bridges, allowing for the best photo opportunities from any angle.
  • Become a part of history: Step beyond sightseeing that is only learned visually and spend a uniquely memorable time becoming a part of Yonezawa's history.
