Samurai Residence Street
Uchimachi
A former samurai living space At the beginning of the Edo period in 1620, large-scale urban planning was carried out by the Ashina clan, and Kakunodate subsequently flourished as a castle town for the Satake clan. The streets lined with samurai residences are called "Uchimachi," and even today they retain the characteristics of a samurai town, such as the layout of the residences from the end of the Edo period, the layout of the main house, gate, and storehouse, and the square-shaped building.

Nationally Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings
Kakunodate Traditional Buildings Preservation District, Senboku City – Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings (designated September 4, 1976) The main street of this group of samurai residences has been designated as an Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings by the national government and is protected as a cultural asset. The preservation district is located almost in the center of the old samurai town and is home to the samurai residences of upper and middle-ranking samurai. A series of walls line the wide street, and a deep grove of large weeping cherry trees and fir trees creates a charming space where you can still feel the lifestyle of those days.
