The 41st Nagahama Matchlock Gun Tournament will be held on October 11, 2026 (Sunday) at the Nagahama Castle History Museum Front Square. This event features demonstrations by the gun teams from Kuniyomi, Tanegashima, Hikone, and Sakai. It's a rare opportunity to witness the techniques of matchlock guns up close while appreciating the historical context.
Access is convenient, just an 8-minute walk from JR Nagahama Station. There is also a paid parking lot available at Yutaka Park, making it accessible by car. We hope you consider attending this tournament to experience history firsthand.
