Samurai Residence “Ishiguro House”

Samurai Residence “Ishiguro House”

Among the six families who occupied the six samurai houses extant in Kakunodate today, the Ishiguro family was the highest in the feudal hierarchy. The house itself is of much interest as its main building is older than those of the other existing samurai houses in Kakunodate. As the descendants of the Ishiguro family still reside in it, only a part of the house is open to the public. However, this house does allow visitors to walk on tatami in the rooms and offers a story-telling service by staff members that covers the life of a samurai family and the characteristic features of each tatami room (five minutes in length).
