Leisurely explore historic streets lined with samurai residences
About this spot
This area preserves the samurai residences of the "fudai" (countryside castle-towns) built under the Satsuma clan's administrative system. Walking along the quiet streets lined with stone walls and hedges, you can sense the region's history spanning from the Edo period to present day. After the peaceful time at Aherayama-Jōryō, continue enjoying a leisurely family walk through these historic streets and imagine the daily lives of people from centuries past.
