Ishiguro Samurai Residence, Historic samurai residence in Kakunodate, Japan.

The Ishiguro Samurai Residence features three distinct entrances, traditional tatami mat halls, and blackboard fences surrounded by tall trees and gardens.

Built in 1809, this residence belonged to the Ishiguro family who served as financial advisers to the Satake clan for over two centuries.

The residence displays architectural elements of upper-class samurai homes, including specialized seating arrangements in the zashiki hall for formal entertainment.

Located on the main street of Kakunodate, the residence opens daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM with reduced hours from November to March.

The descendants of the original Ishiguro family continue to live in sections of this residence while maintaining other areas for public viewing.
