🇯🇵Tohoku, Japan👣 Akita Prefecture, Kakunodate Samurai Residences🍁

The Samurai Residence in Akita is a residence full of Japanese samurai culture. It was the residence of the ancient samurai Daiming (Aoyagi family), and the family history can be traced back to 1587. It was later moved to Kakunodate in 1603, and everything in the courtyard has been preserved intact, making people feel as if they have returned to the contemporary time and space context. As it is a designated historic site in Akita Prefecture, if you want to enter and visit, you must first purchase a ticket at the ticket booth at the main gate before you can enter and visit the temple. There are 10 major areas in the temple, namely the main gate, the mother house, the armory, the Aoyagi-an, the courtyard, the stone statue of Odano Naotake, the Samurai Equipment Museum, the Akita Folk Museum, the Highcolla Museum, the Edo Period Photo Studio, etc., which display weapons, armor, cultural relics, and utensils from the 17th to 20th centuries. They are very important historical and cultural assets. If you want to experience the feeling of a samurai at that time, it is right to come here for a visit.
