Izumi Fumoto Samurai Residences

About Izumi Fumoto Samurai Residences

To experience the authentic atmosphere of an Edo-period samurai residence, we highly recommend prioritizing visits to open facilities like the Takezoe and Zeisho Residences.
When walking through the historic streets, pay close attention to the beauty of the stone walls and hedges for a more immersive experience.
For the best way to learn about the history, combine your walk with a visit to the exhibits at the Izumi Fumoto History Museum.
If you are interested in photography, visiting during the bright daylight hours is recommended to capture the details clearly.
