薩摩の武士が生きた町 〜武家屋敷群「麓」を歩く〜

加世田麓

Kaseda Fumoto


Historic Waterways Crossed by Stone Bridges

Kaseda Fumoto is located along a narrow winding road between two medieval mountain forts, making attack by large numbers of enemies impossible. Cut stone walls with quickset hedges on top mark the edge of each house. Wide waterways running parallel to the walls are crossed intermittently by stone bridges leading to the impressive gates of each house, creating a uniquely beautiful historic atmosphere. The samurai houses in this region are designated as a National Cultural Heritage Site.
