    Deep historical tour of castles related to the Toyotomi brothers ！.

    Ogaki Castle ＆ Sumimata Ichiyo Castle
    Ogaki City, Gifu Prefecture, is home to Ogaki Castle, where Hidenaga Toyotomi served as lord for a time, and Sumimata Ichiyo Castle, which Hideyoshi Toyotomi used as a stepping stone to success in his career. Ogaki and Sumimata were inns on the Mino Road and historically the scene of constant warfare. Sumimata was the scene of the Jinshin Rebellion in ancient times, and Ogaki was the residence of Ishida Mitsunari during the Battle of Sekigahara, and the area has appeared at many historical turning points.

    This time, we will hold a historical exploration tour, moving between these two historical areas and exploring their connection with the Toyotomi siblings while walking around the town as the main theme.

    Ogaki is known for its rich history, culture and water.

    This tour will give you the opportunity to experience the historical charm of the good old city of Ogaki, and to discover its charms as a second and third "hometown" ？

    Registration
    Ogaki Mayor will be your navigator
    Ogaki Mayor Hitoshi Ishida himself will be your guide on this historical tour. He will talk about the mysteries of history and hidden stories that cannot be found in textbooks from his unique perspective.

    In fact, Mayor Ishida is such a history buff that he has even created his own history comic strip. …



    Enjoy the "Succeeding Soup" for lunch. He ate miso soup made of soybean paste, root vegetables, octopus, and sometimes meat of tiger or pheasant. We have prepared a lunch that comes with "Izuse-jiru," a modernized version of such an anecdote. It is a delicious meal for both the eyes and the palate.
