Experience the armor and helmet at Sendai Castle! We have prepared authentic armor and headgear that you can feel the weight of! You can choose between children's and adult size armor, and you can take a commemorative photo in the armor with the cavalry statue of Lord Date Masamune and the cityscape of Sendai in the background. It takes about 5 minutes for each person to put on the armor. The armor will be put on over the clothes worn on the day of the tour. After putting on the armor, we will take a commemorative photo with a sword! Let's strike a cool pose! You will feel like Lord Masamune Date at the ruins of Sendai Castle, where you can enjoy a panoramic view of the Sendai cityscape. How about taking a commemorative photo as a souvenir of your visit to Sendai?

We went on a sunny day, and got some great pictures. The prices when we went were 1000 yen for the helmet and sword and 3000 for the full armor. The staff was friendly and had good English skills for other foreigners who are interested. I recommend wearing black to match the aesthetic of the armor.
Unforgettable

A great time walking around in the armor themed after Date Masamune and Kojiro. Enjoyed the sights and learning new things about both the area and the people.
Great time!

Being a tourist destination, I had the experience of wearing a Date armor that I wouldn't normally have! Apparently, it is a replica of the real Masamune-sama's armor making, and it was also heavy! I wonder if this is the weight of the Sengoku period ... and I take a photo. I even had my eye patch on and it was just Masamune Date! The helmet is authentic and the moon part is long! That's cool. It was chilly, but I was very happy to get one that I could keep and be proud of! I want to use this experience to win the modern game!

My child was able to experience it. It was easy to throw and I'm very happy. I experienced it at an event in Tomiya, so now I'm going to Sendai.

A great experience being once a Samurai and having a Katana in my hands and being dressed as a real Samurai. I can recommend this very much.
A good experience.

It is an experience that is irresistible for warlords! It's hard to see him wearing armor. If you come to Aoba Castle, I highly recommend it!
