Traces of Samurai Life from the Edo Period
Kushikino Fumoto was located between Kagoshima Castle and the northern border town of Izumi. Few of the original samurai residences still exist due to construction in recent years, but traces of the Edo period remain around the medieval mountain fort. The shrine located on the site of the mountain fort and the few remaining samurai houses nearby are worth a visit. Kushikino is still famous for shochu and Satsuma-age, and it is possible to explore the food culture of the samurai nearby.
