05-02-2024

(Worldkings.org) Odawara, a peaceful port city in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, is not only famous for its heroic history and ancient castle but also for its unique service that allows tourists to experience a day as a feudal lord, or daimyo.

This service allows tourists to live in the ancient castle, wear the traditional attire of a lord, and enjoy the life of a medieval lord. Tourists will be assisted in wearing the feudal era costume by a team of experts. First, they will wear long white undergarments tied with a belt around the waist, followed by stepping into baggy leggings that are tight over the shin before attaching the protective layers.

In the "lord experience" tour, tourists will enjoy a music performance at Odawara Castle. Welcomed by a band of musicians on the traditional taiko drum, shamisen, and shinobue flute, tourists will enjoy a performance telling a story of loyalty and revenge illustrated with sword fighting skills, wall jumping, and acrobatics.

The service of experiencing a day as a feudal lord in Odawara provides tourists with a great opportunity to understand more about Japanese history and culture, as well as to directly experience the life of a medieval lord. Come to Odawara to experience a day as a lord and discover the interesting things that this city has to offer.
