Kyū Hosokawa Gyōbutei, Samurai residence in Kumamoto Castle Park, Japan
The Former Hosokawa Residence features traditional Japanese architecture with wooden beams and tatami mat arrangements within its residential and reception spaces.
Built in 1678 during the Edo period, this residence served as the home of a branch family of the Hosokawa clan until its relocation in 1873.
The interior layout and architectural elements of the residence demonstrate the social hierarchy and living standards of high-ranking samurai families.
Located north of Kumamoto Castle, the residence remains closed since 2016 due to earthquake damage, with no current schedule for reopening.
The residence underwent a return journey to its original location in Kumamoto Castle Park, followed by extensive restoration work in the 1990s.
