Walking the samurai town of Taketa, Oita, part 1

After visiting the Taketa Yusui Springs Group, we strolled around the Buke-yashiki (武家屋敷) street in the Taketamachi area of Taketa. Taketa is a city located in the south of Oita Prefecture. The Oka Castle, a local historic landmark now in ruins, is nearby.

The first place we went is Tonomachi samurai warrior district. Many traditional houses are left on the street.
Once I got out of the street and went to a nearby place, the site of a hidden Christian (Kakure Kirishitan 隠れキリシタン) cave chapel. It is a place of worship located in caves of Oka Castle.
Some feudal lords in Bungo Province, such as Otomo Sorin who has believed in Christianity. When was Christianity banned in Japan during the Edo period, the hidden Christians continued to practice Christianity in secret. 
A long wall gate and a white wall warehouse along the street.
The Rentaro Tunnel named after Rentaro Taki, a pianist and one of the best-known composers of Japan.
Getting out the tunnel, there is a house of Rentaro Taki that Rentaro live at the age of 12 to 14 with his father's transfer. It is used as museum now.
After that we headed to our next visit, the Aizen-do Buddhist temple.
