Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Samurai District?
The best area to stay in Samurai District is the historic Kakunodate town centre, particularly around the Samurai Residence Street (Buke-yashiki-dori).

This area is the heart of the district, renowned for its beautifully preserved samurai houses and cherry blossom trees. It's a compact and very walkable area, allowing you to easily explore the historic residences, museums, and local craft shops. The main street, Buke-yashiki-dori, is lined with traditional walls and gates, giving you a true sense of stepping back in time.

Couples looking for a romantic and culturally rich getaway will find staying within Kakunodate's historic core to be ideal. You'll be within easy reach of the Aoyagi House and Ishiguro House, two of the most famous samurai residences, and can enjoy leisurely strolls through the charming streets, especially during the cherry blossom season or autumn foliage. Many traditional inns are located within this area, offering a truly authentic experience.

Solo travellers seeking a peaceful and enriching historical experience will also appreciate the convenience of staying in central Kakunodate. You can take your time exploring the individual samurai homes, visiting the local craft stores, and enjoying the local cuisine at your own pace without needing to travel far.
When is the best time to go to Samurai District?
The best time to visit the Samurai District of Akita Prefecture is during the spring (late April to early May) for the cherry blossoms or in the autumn (late October to early November) for the vibrant autumn leaves.

Spring transforms the district with thousands of cherry trees, particularly along the Hinokinai River embankment, creating a stunning tunnel of blossoms. This period is ideal for couples and families who enjoy scenic strolls and photography, as the historic samurai residences are framed beautifully by the pink and white flowers. The weather is generally mild and pleasant for exploring on foot.

Autumn offers a different kind of beauty, with the maple and ginkgo trees turning brilliant shades of red, orange, and gold. This season is great for travellers who appreciate natural beauty and a slightly cooler climate for outdoor activities.
