Gather, exchange, and relax — A fun, hands-on Warring States period event fun for the whole family

The prefecture of Aichi is famous for churning out many of the military commanders of Japan's tumultuous Warring States period, including famous Lord Nobunaga, Lord Hideyoshi, and Lord Tokugawa, who came from the area. As the "Hometown of Commanders", Aichi offers an event sure to give you your fill of historical samurai and ninja fun: the Samurai & Ninja Festival.
A warrior parade, matchlock gun demonstrations, warrior and ninja performance groups, and delicious dishes are just some of the festivities straight out of Japan's infamous Warring States period. Plus, the 2026 program for Japan's famous morning Taiga Drama is set to be the Toyotomi Brothers—telling the story of the aforementioned Toyotomi Hideyoshi—so this event will be perfect to get you in the right state of mind before embarking on the historical drama's journey. Come family, come all to this battle-ready bonanza!
