This is probably the best video in English regarding to the Ichijodani Castle ruins and museum. The video is in English with Japanese subtitles. Also the narrator gives a brief history of the feud between Nobunaga and Asakura Yoshikage. During the time of Nobunaga, Ichijotani (established in 1471) was located in Echizen Province (modern day Fukui) and it was known as Little Kyoto. After Nobunaga killed Yoshikage in 1573, he burned Ichijotani to the ground.
The open air museum is one of the best in Japan. If you wanted to know how people lived during the time of Nobunaga and Yoshikage, Ichijotani reconstruction village is the way to go. Also the Asakura museum is a must see as well. As for myself, I have visited the ruins decades ago. As for the relics, over 1,700,000 has been discovered.
Tenka no tame!
