Aizu Bukeyashiki, Samurai residence museum in Aizuwakamatsu, Japan

The Aizu Bukeyashiki features 38 rooms with life-sized figures depicting daily activities of samurai families during the Edo period through detailed scenes and arrangements.

Originally home to Tanomo Saigo, chief advisor of the Aizu clan in 1860, the residence underwent reconstruction after its destruction during the Boshin War of 1868.

The residence displays traditional architectural elements of samurai dwellings, including wooden structures, spacious layouts, guest rooms, gardens, and an archery range.

Visitors can reach the museum via the Aizu Loop Bus to Aizu Bukeyashiki-mae stop, with admission fees of 850 yen for adults and reduced rates for students.

The museum offers hands-on experiences where visitors can practice traditional activities such as painting akabeko figures, glass etching, and trying archery techniques.
