If you're coming by car, take the Joshinetsu Expressway from "Nagano IC" towards Nagano Station and head south on Route 2. You'll arrive at the Sanada Treasures Museum in about 5km. You can also visit by plane from Kansai or Tohoku to Matsumoto. Please use the "Azusa Express" or a high-speed bus from Matsumoto Station to Nagano Station.

The admission fee for the Sanada Treasures Museum is 600 yen for adults and 100 yen for elementary and junior high school students. For groups, there is a discount, with admission fees reduced to 500 yen for adults and 50 yen for elementary and junior high school students. It's recommended for families with children interested in history, as the admission fee for elementary and junior high school students is quite reasonable.
