Aizu Samurai Residence
Aizu Bukeyashiki is a historical theme park centered around the residence of Aizu domain chief retainer, Saigo Yorimoto, which has been relocated and restored. Covering approximately 7,000 tsubo (about 23,000 square meters), the site features several attractions, including the "Old Nakahata Jin'ya," a relocated and restored Edo period magistrate's office, and the tea room "Reinan-an Rinkaku." In the museum, visitors can learn about daily life during that era and the events of the Boshin War. From mid-December to early April, the interior of the chief retainer's residence is open for tours. The handcraft experience center offers activities such as painting red cows, glass carving, and taking commemorative photos in period costumes. Additionally, the premises include "Kuyou-tei," where visitors can enjoy Aizu's local cuisine, and "Gyo Kobo Koko," which sells local specialties, making it an ideal place for creating lasting memories while sightseeing.
