Nagoya Touken World, Nagoya Touken Museum
A collection of Japanese katanas, armor, ukiyo-e prints, guns, and more displayed as both precious works of art and a glimpse into the past
Hommachi-dori Street in the Sakae area was constructed as a means to commute between Nagoya Castle and Atsuta Jingu Shrine just as the castle was being built at the beginning of the Edo period. More than 400 years later and the metropolis of Nagoya as we now know it owes much of its culture to this road. Nagoya Touken World—or the Nagoya Sword World—came to be in this very area in the Nagoya Touken Museum as a homage to the rich local history.
Nagoya Touken World displays numerous ancient swords, armor, and other wartime memorabilia as well as important cultural properties in the present day as proud pieces of Japanese culture. Transcend time and space in the world of Japanese weaponry at Nagoya Touken Museum along Hommachi-dori Street in Nagoya's bustling Sakae area—host to both a rich history and the future to come.
