This historic neighborhood consists of wide, tree-lined streets with mansions built during the Edo Period, only six of which remain and are open to the public. The area is particularly beautiful in late April, when the cherry trees are in full bloom.

We made a day trip at Kakunodate, drop our luggages at Kakunodate Station locks. It was easy 20mins walk from the station in early winter. We visited only handful of samurai house, and I think this is one of best organized. The compound is consist of few buildings, showing the living condition of the time. One of the main highlight is the large collections of Samurai weapons, armors and equipments. This is the largest I came across so far. They displayed one Kanata and one Naginata in enclosed, allowing guest to try lifting them. The naginata is lighter than expected. If there is only one house to visit, this should be the one. Entrance fee is JPY500. Do drop me a message, I will try to help answering if I know. Please give me a thumbs up if you find the review useful. Thanks

Ishiguro Samurai Residence The direct descendant family continues to live in this house. This is only samurai residence in Kakunodate town like this. Maintenance and publishing is done by our family. This building keeps livable condition. And the building has not been re-built since it was built in the end of Edo Period, early 19th century. When you see the precious and cultural displayed items, you may be able to feel long history of this house. This is the only Samurai residence in Kakunodate that has a guided tour. The tour guide is provided by our family or staffs. The tour takes about 5 minutes. A guide fee is included admission fee.
