Stroll through the samurai mansion streetscape that has continued since the Edo period

About this spot

Communal samurai residences of the warriors who guarded Matsusaka Castle, preserved in their nearly original Edo-period condition - a rare townscape nationwide. The rows of tiled-roofed houses glimpsed beyond hedges evoke a sense of having stepped back to the Edo period in peaceful silence. Some of the mansions are open to the public as museums where you can experience the samurai lifestyle of that era. Located just steps from Matsusaka Castle Ruins, this is the perfect spot to conclude your castle town stroll.

Tips

Easily accessible on foot from Matsusaka Castle Ruins. You can freely stroll through the street, but since many mansions are still residential, please observe quietly. Museums may charge separate admission fees.
