Osaka Museum of History NHK VR Samurai's Dream Ticket

Put on VR goggles and travel
to the phantom Toyotomi Osaka Castle

When you put on the VR goggles, Toyotomi Osaka Castle, which vanished 400 years ago, appears before your eyes. Built by Toyotomi Hideyoshi with every luxury and praised as peerless in the three countries, the castle is yours to explore for about 40 minutes as you walk around the venue with other participants, as if floating through it. The main character, the spirit of Osaka Castle, is voiced by Saori Hayami.

See the Golden Tea Room and the view from the castle keep

Experience Hideyoshi's beloved Golden Tea Room and the spectacular view from the castle keep in vivid VR. You will also encounter rare exotic beasts that the samurai feared.

Head to the front line of the Siege of Osaka at Sanada-maru

Head into the Siege of Osaka, the largest battle of the Sengoku period, and witness the moment history changed at the front line of the legendary Sanada-maru. Carrying a sword into battle, you become not a spectator of history but a participant in the Sengoku period. The Osaka venue features upgraded content, including the additional "Sanada-maru" scene recreating the battle there.

Meet the helmets and armor of famous warlords

In VR you can also see a scene gathering the distinctive helmets and armor of famous warlords. The VR experience is available with Japanese, English or Chinese audio, and members of the same team can each choose a different language. It is audio only, with no subtitles.
