1. Nagoya (Nakamura Park Area)
Two venues centered around Nakamura Park, birthplace of Hideyoshi and Hidenaga. The Toyotomi Museum is free to enter, making it easy to stop by casually, and combined with the paid Taiga Drama Museum in the same building, the visit typically takes about 30 minutes to 1 hour. About a 10-minute walk from Nakamura Koen subway station.
Toyotomi Museum Free
Dates January 24, 2026 – January 11, 2027 Hours 9:00–17:00 (last entry 16:30) / Generally open daily Admission The Nagoya City special exhibition area and shop are free Location Inside Nakamura Park (about a 10-minute walk from Nakamura Koen subway station)
It is in the same building as the Taiga Drama Museum. Even the free area is worth seeing, and visiting it first gives useful context for the main exhibition.
Toyotomi Brothers! Nagoya Nakamura Taiga Drama Museum
Dates January 24, 2026 – January 11, 2027 Hours 9:00–17:00 (last entry 16:30) / Generally open daily Admission Adults 800 yen / Elementary & junior high school students 400 yen / Preschool children free Location Inside the Toyotomi Museum, Nakamura Park
It has the highest admission fee of the three main venues, but the volume of costumes and props on display is especially strong.
This area is presented as the Kita-Omi Toyotomi Expo, spread across three zones: Nagahama castle town, Azai-Odani, and Yogo-Kinomoto. Visiting all four venues takes at least a full day. The most efficient route is to start with Hall of Honor and Bonds for background, then continue to the Nagahama Taiga Drama Museum, followed by the Odani Castle area. JR Nagahama Station is the main gateway.
Toyotomi Brothers! Kita-Omi Nagahama Taiga Drama Museum
Dates February 1 – December 20, 2026 Hours 9:00–17:00 (last entry 16:30) / Generally open daily Admission Adults 600 yen / Elementary & junior high school students 300 yen Location Sokai-sho Hall, Nagahama Betsuin Daitsuji Temple (32-9 Motohamacho, Nagahama, Shiga)
The venue is Daitsuji Temple, an Important Cultural Property. The dignity of the historic building and the exhibition together create a distinctive atmosphere.

Located next to a roadside station, this venue introduces the Azai clan and serves as an excellent primer on the history of northern Omi. Especially good for families with children.
Dates April 4 – December 20, 2026 Hours 10:00–16:00 (last entry 15:30) / Generally open daily Admission Free Location Former Yogo Culture Hall (2434 Nakanogo, Yogochō, Nagahama) / Within walking distance of JR Yogo Station
Set in a peaceful location by Lake Yogo, this venue explains the background of the Battle of Shizugatake. Since admission is free, it is well worth adding to your itinerary.
Two venues are located in Yamato-Koriyama, the domain once governed by Toyotomi Hidenaga. I strongly recommend visiting both the Taiga Drama Museum in Koriyama Castle Hall and the exhibition inside Higashi-Tamon Yagura. Access is also convenient—about a 7-minute walk from Kintetsu Koriyama Station.
Toyotomi Brothers! Yamato-Koriyama Taiga Drama Museum
Dates March 2, 2026 – January 22, 2027 Hours 10:00–17:00 (last admission 16:30) Closed December 28 – January 4, plus irregular closures Admission Adults 600 yen / Elementary & junior high school students 300 yen / Preschool children free Location 1F Exhibition Room, DMG MORI Yamato-Koriyama Castle Hall (about a 7-minute walk from Kintetsu Koriyama Station)
A rare exhibition focused on Hidenaga. It gives substance and personality to a figure who is often overshadowed by his older brother Hideyoshi.
Dates January 22, 2026 – January 31, 2027 Hours 10:00–17:00 (last admission 16:30) Closed December 28 – January 4, and on the Taiga Drama Museum’s closing days Admission General 300 yen / Junior high school students and younger free Location Higashi-Tamon Yagura (within the Koriyama Castle Ruins historic site)
The venue is Higashi-Tamon Yagura, which is not usually open to the public. You can enjoy both the historic building itself and the exhibition in a single visit.
Visitors interested in the birthplace of Hideyoshi and Hidenaga. Easy to combine with sightseeing in Nagoya.
Those who want to enjoy Sengoku history together with the Azai clan story. A strong base for sightseeing in Shiga.
Visitors who want a deeper, more focused look at Hidenaga. Easy to combine with sightseeing in Nara.

It is a multi-site exhibition experience spanning three areas: Nagahama castle town, Azai-Odani, and Yogo-Kinomoto. The four venues—the Taiga Drama Museum, Hall of Honor and Bonds, Shizugatake Sengoku Station, and Toyotomi Great Return Station—allow visitors to explore the Sengoku history of northern Omi from multiple angles.
There are two venues: the Yamato-Koriyama Taiga Drama Museum at Koriyama Castle Hall (600 yen for adults) and the exhibition Hidenaga and the History of Koriyama at Higashi-Tamon Yagura (300 yen general admission). Visiting both together gives you a much deeper understanding of Toyotomi Hidenaga and the history of Koriyama. One major highlight is the chance to enter Higashi-Tamon Yagura, which is not usually open to the public.
Yes. Most venues offer free admission for preschool children or discounted child tickets. Hall of Honor and Bonds is free for high school students and younger, while Shizugatake Sengoku Station and Toyotomi Great Return Station are free for everyone. The Nagahama area is especially family-friendly because several venues can be toured together.
Because Nagoya, Nagahama, and Yamato-Koriyama are spread out, covering all three in 1 night and 2 days would be a very tight schedule. A more realistic option is pairing Nagoya and Nagahama in one overnight trip, or visiting Yamato-Koriyama on its own together with sightseeing in Nara. The detailed field reports for each area include suggested visit times.
Nagoya Nakamura Park is about a 10-minute walk from Nakamura Koen Station on the Higashiyama Subway Line. The Nagahama Taiga Drama Museum is within walking distance of JR Nagahama Station. The Yamato-Koriyama Taiga Drama Museum is about a 7-minute walk from Kintetsu Koriyama Station. Shizugatake Sengoku Station is also within walking distance of JR Yogo Station, but train service is limited, so check the timetable in advance.
Yes. Every venue carefully explains the historical background of Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Hidenaga, so even visitors who have not seen the drama can enjoy them. In fact, seeing the exhibitions first can make the characters and settings in the drama much easier to understand afterward.
You can access them from the “📍 Field Report” button on each venue card. They include photos from actual visits, exhibition highlights, and tips on how to explore the surrounding area. Reading them in advance will make your visit much smoother.
