Nakachō, Samurai quarter district in Hirosaki, Japan
The Nakachō district spans 10.6 hectares and contains preserved wooden buildings with traditional gates, hedges, and fences from the samurai era.
The district was established during the Keichō period between 1596 and 1615 as part of the Tsugaru Domain castle town development plan.
Former residences in Nakachō display architectural elements that reflect the social status and daily routines of samurai families in feudal Japan.
The preservation district maintains educational signs throughout the area and offers direct access through local transportation networks in Hirosaki City.
Each property in Nakachō features sawara cypress hedges and specific wooden fence designs that marked samurai household boundaries during the Edo period.
