Overview

The Gofu-machi Bukeyashiki Group is a historically romantic spot located in the townscape on the western outer perimeter of Tambasasayama Castle ruins. Traditional earthen walls line the north-south streets, where old houses stand. It once flourished as the samurai district of the "Gofu-shu," who were responsible for protecting the feudal lord. The quiet atmosphere of the Edo period remains vividly today. Having been carefully maintained for approximately 200 years, these Edo-era samurai residences offer a glimpse into the daily life and culture of that time. Designated as an Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings, it's a must-see for history buffs. Strolling through the streets, you'll feel as if you've stepped back in time. Take a leisurely walk, imagining the lives of the samurai of that era; it's sure to soothe your soul and allow you to forget the daily hustle and bustle. The fact that some houses are still inhabited today is another interesting point, showcasing the coexistence of history and modernity. The Gofu-machi Bukeyashiki Group is recommended not only for history lovers but also for those who want to stroll through a quiet townscape and for photography enthusiasts. Be sure to visit when you are in Tambasasayama.
