Visiting Izumi-Fumoto's old samurai village

Finally, we visited to the Izumi-Fumoto old samurai village (出水麓武家屋敷群 -buke yashiki gun) in Izumi. Among with Chiran and Iriki, the village is known as one of the three major samurai residences of Shimazu clan.

There are many houses still living in their daily life, therefore we can only visit two places, Saishotei (税所邸) and Takezoetei (竹添邸) that are open to the public. The latter was used for NHK's taiga drama shooting which was aired "Atsuhime" (篤姫) in 2008.
It was already half past four, so we decided to go only one place, Saishotei.
A typical Japanese-style living room with Samurai sword sets and Chinese landscape paintings are on display.
