What To Expect
Hiyodori Hill
This old path adjacent to the samurai residence street is surrounded by beautiful bamboo forests that have remained almost unchanged since the Edo period. The gently curving slope is efficiently fenced with four-sided fences, bamboo blind fences, and gun fences, creating the atmosphere that a samurai might appear at any moment.
Facing the street lined with earthen ramparts and hedges that still recall the image of the castle town of Sakura, three samurai residences are currently open to the public: the Former Kawara Family Residence (a cultural property designated by Chiba Prefecture), the Former Tajima Family Residence (a cultural property designated by Sakura City), and the Former Takei Family Residence. Closed on Mondays
