Izumi Fumoto Samurai Residences

To fully experience the atmosphere of an Edo-period samurai residence, it is highly recommended to visit the open-access facilities such as the Takezoe and Tsuzukosho residences. While walking through the historic streets, pay close attention to the beauty of the stone and hedge walls for a deeper experience. For those interested in learning the historical context, combining your walk with a visit to the Izumi Fumoto Historical Museum is the best way to enjoy the trip. If you are a photography enthusiast, visiting during the bright daylight hours is recommended to capture the best views.
