🌿🍃 Akita | Kakunodate Samurai Residences 🏯

Kakunodate is a castle town that flourished during the Edo period, famous for its samurai residences that have over 400 years of history. 🌸🌺 In spring, it is renowned for cherry blossom viewing, while the autumn foliage is equally breathtaking. The scene of red maple trees and yellow ginkgo trees reflecting on the black wooden fences is truly picturesque. 🍁✨ 🌸🌺 This street has been designated as an Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings. In addition to the existing samurai residences, there are various local shops and restaurants, making it a perfect place for a leisurely stroll. 🚶‍♀️ 🌸🌺 You can also rent a kimono or take a rickshaw ride to wander along the charming streets and enjoy the autumn colors.
