On November 2 and 3 of the first year of Reiwa, the fifth "Human Shogi @ Himeji Team" will be held at Himeji Castle Sannomaru Square, the fifth time!

 Professional shogi players command from special towers on both sides of the large shogi board.
 We're also going to enliven the atmosphere of human shogi, with skits featuring people related to Himeji such as Kanbe Kuroda.
