Osaka no Jin ⚔ Pilgrimage to sacred places refers to the stages of battles such as the 1614 (Keicho 19) battle "Osaka Winter Jin" and the 1615 (Genna 1) restarted battle "Osaka Summer Jin" and other battles. It is to visit places connected to Osaka Castle as sacred places with “SAMURAI STYLE”. In addition, the term ``Japan's best soldier, who acted with great courage and speed'' in that battle was a name used to praise Sanada Nobushige (Yukimura), who was loyal to his lord, did not betray him even with money or territory, and was close to Tokugawa Ieyasu during the Summer Siege in Osaka. . Yukimura Sanada shined dazzlingly as a Sengoku military commander in the battle that concluded the Sengoku period. His vivid life still fascinates many people today, and let's make a pilgrimage to the sacred place of his glorious battle at Osaka, where he was praised as ``the greatest soldier in Japan.''
