Kakunodate(角館町)



< Kakunodate-cho, Akita >
Kakunodate is an old samurai town with many original and restored samurai era buildings.
Walking its streets is fascinating.  It is kind of like going back in a time warp to the samurai era.  Many of the manhole covers in Kakunodate have a samurai figures on them, a tribute to Kakunodate's past.      


<秋田県角館町>
仙北市角館町は、重要伝統的建造物群保存地区です。
現在も武家屋敷等の建造物が数多く残されており、東北でも有名な観光地として知られており、「みちのくの小京都」とも呼ばれています。
