Leisurely Stroll Through the Samurai Merchant Houses That Flourished as an Outer Castle of the Satsuma Domain
About this spot
A castle town settlement established during the Edo period as one of the outer castles of the Satsuma Domain, where the townscape of samurai merchant houses surrounded by stone walls and hedges still remains today. As you walk through the streets laid out in a grid pattern, you can sense the lifestyle of the samurai society of that era. Known for its particularly good state of preservation within Miyazaki City, you can enjoy a historical walk while escaping the summer heat in a quiet atmosphere. It's the perfect place to start your day in a calm setting in preparation for the evening's fireworks.
