Activity itinerary

Samurai Street House
  • 30m
  • Admission ticket included
Kakunodate, a castle town that flourished in the Edo period, is called "Michinoku's Little Kyoto." In a compact area with a radius of about 2 km, many samurai residences and other old buildings still exist, making it a popular tourist spot visited by many Japanese and foreign tourists alike, who come to enjoy the elegant townscape. The high street of the samurai residences has been designated as a National Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings and is protected as a cultural asset. This tour explores the houses of lower and upper-class warriors and includes an entrance into the actual samurai residences. The history of the Samurai, which continues to the present day, will be explained in a fun and informative way.
Ando Jozo Brewery Honten
  • 20m
  • Admission ticket included
Kakunodate is divided into an inner town with samurai residences and an outer town with rows of merchant houses. Ando Brewery is located in the outer town. Since the end of World War II, Ando Brewery has specialised in the production of miso, soya sauce, and pickles, and has continued to preserve the traditional flavours that have been handed down from generation to generation. The main store was rebuilt in 1883 and retains its original appearance. On this tour, you will enjoy a tasting of miso and pickles and a taste comparison of three different types of soya sauce.
Kakunodate Kabazaiku Center Bukeyashikidori
  • 10m
  • Admission ticket included
Kaba-zaiku is a craft made from the bark of mountain cherry trees. During the Edo period (1603-1867), kabazaiku developed as a handcraft for low-ranked samurai, who, like the samurai, made inro, eyeglass cases, netsuke, and oshime, with an uncompromising one-of-a-kind style. The unique technique used to produce the unique lustre of mountain cherry bark, with its austere and deep colours, is widely used as a daily material. In this tour, you will actually touch kabazaiku and delve deeper into the samurai's way of living with nature.
