Experience Japan’s Living Tradition: Human Shogi in Tendo, Yamagata
Step into a world where history comes alive—literally. In Tendo City, the birthplace of Japan’s finest shogi pieces, samurai in full armor take their place on a giant outdoor board to reenact one of Japan’s most elegant strategic arts: shogi, often referred to as Japanese chess.
This breathtaking event, known as Human Shogi, is not only a theatrical spectacle but also a cultural ritual that blends precision, pageantry, and tradition. Watch as each move unfolds with choreographed elegance under cherry blossoms or autumn leaves.
For our private tour guests, we offer front-row access, curated storytelling, and exclusive moments with local artisans and historians. Discover the deeper “why” behind this centuries-old tradition and immerse yourself in the soul of northern Japan.
🌸 Private experiences available on request. Comment “Shogi” if you want one for 2026.
