Tourists can sample wearing Yoroi (samurai battle armour) at the Meijōkan. I subsequently wrote the following about my experience there:
“Meijōkan 銘醸館 in Minami-Soma City offers a rare opportunity to dress in FULL historical dress, including undergarments, waraji straw sandals, tabi, as well as replica armour. Most opportunities for wearing armour don't provide the whole experience, and so you often see tourists posing in kabuto with denim jeans on. It was interesting for me to see how the full gear both restricts (sacrificing flexibility for protection) and facilitates movement. Plus, I can say that wearing correct undergarments makes wearing yoroi much more comfortable.”
