    good for a slice of Japanese history

    200yen entry. All the signs/explanations are in Japanese, so beware. A lovely old little Samurai house, painstainkingly kept (almost too perfect for a 200 year old house). A rare little old gem in a c...

    The only samurai residence left in Katsuyama

    Original Text

    The only samurai residence left in Katsuyama. The hill around here was where the samurai residence was, and the Watanabe family is the next family of the chief retainer. The gate position is excellent reflecting the family status. I visited the residence for an admission fee of 200 yen. The gate, entrance, and guest room are the largest and well-made, and the tatami room where the family lives is in the back. There is no corridor between rooms. It is made like a samurai house that values dignity.

    It's a little bit small.

    It is an old and tasteful samurai residence, but it is a little small and the garden is small, so you can see it immediately. It is located a short walk from the street of the Katsuyama Townscape Preservation District, up the hill, and walk a little through the residential area. There is a parking lot, but you have to go through a slightly narrow street.

    Superior Samurai の Hall

    Original Text

     Katsuyama, who was governed by the Miura family during the Sengoku period (period of Warring States), became the territory of the Bakufu in 1727 in the mid Edo period, but in 1764, the Miura family of the branch family ruled as the first Lord of the domain. This samurai residence building is one of the mansions built at this time, the Watanabe family's mansion. In addition to the Nagayamon gate, which is a proof of the high-roku samurai, there are main buildings, dozo, and wells. Arms, clothing, old documents, etc. are exhibited in the room.

    Samurai residence on the height of the town!

    Original Text

    After strolling through the old streets of Katsuyama, I went down the information board street and climbed a little up the slope, and there was a samurai residence building. Perhaps because it is located on a hill, I felt more quiet than the castle town. When building a castle town in Katsuyama, it may have been distinguished by putting samurai residences on a slightly higher level than the town. It must have been a town made using the terrain. I didn't have much time this time and couldn't see the inside, but I wanted to visit again as a set with the lord Miura's residence.
