Kudoyama Sanada Museum

Flow of the course

About this spot

A town-run museum in Kudoyama Town introducing the connection between the Sanada clan and this land. Through exhibits and film you can trace the history of how Sanada Masayuki and his son Yukimura lived here in Kudoyama after the Battle of Sekigahara. Many of the displays, such as red armour and banners, are easy to grasp at a glance, so the good thing is that even children who know nothing of history can start from 「that looks cool」. The building is air-conditioned, so it also works as a rest stop during the strongest sunlight. It is within walking distance of Jisonin Temple (慈尊院), and the walk itself is enjoyable as you take in the townscape.

Tips

Please check opening hours, closed days and admission fees on the official website in advance. Nearby is Sanada-an (真田庵), also tied to the Sanada clan, so you can add it if time allows. Some streets in town are narrow, so if you come by car the town car park is the safe choice.

Best time to visit

About 50 minutes. Being indoors, it suits the late morning when the sun grows strong.
