information |
Kakunodate offers one of Japan's most beautifully preserved, former samurai districts. Most of Kakunodate's samurai houses, six of which are open to the public, stand behind wooden fences and gates along a central avenue which is lined by tall oak and weeping cherry trees.
Among the most interesting mansions open to the public are the Ishiguro Samurai House, the former residence of Kakunodate's highest ranked family, and the Aoyagi Samurai House, which exhibits arms, antiques and other family treasures.
