Izumi Samurai Residences

出水麓武家屋敷群

Kagoshima · Kyushu

Izumi’s samurai residence district has stone walls, hedges, and quiet lanes from the Satsuma domain era. It is atmospheric without the crowds of better-known samurai towns.

Why it's hidden

Many visitors know Izumi for cranes only and miss the old residential district.
