The only samurai residence in Kakunodate where direct descendants continue to live and pass on the legends of the samurai
Regarding the guide and explanation, we can point to written explanations (flipboards) for customers who have difficulty hearing (hearing impairments). Furthermore, we can also provide guide and explanations in English for customers visiting Japan from overseas, although we are not very good at it.
As our house is an old Japanese house, there are thresholds and stepping blocks that are about 15-20cm high. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause to guests who have difficulty walking and are unable to climb into the rooms, but we can provide a guided explanation while showing you photos of the interior in the dirt floor area. Thank you for your understanding.
You are viewing a samurai residence built in the Edo period that has continued to be used by descendants of the family to the present day. The main house is said to be the oldest remaining in Kakunodate. Since the Meiji period, glass windows have been installed and concrete has been laid on the dirt floor in some areas. Therefore, some of the glass windows still use old handmade glass.
