What other travelers are saying about Nagamachi Samurai District
Visited during winter in horrible weather after dark. Only a few shops open. Nice garden in the middle. Impressive Samurai houses. Probably best visited in the daytime.
Quaint traditional part of town that wasn’t crowded. There are a few small museums and art shops here. There is limited shade so we came mid-afternoon when it was a little cooler.
Easy to get to via bus or on foot.
The samurai district. Very nice area to take a stroll and visit the many souvenir shops selling local handy crafts and delicacies. The area wasn't crowded so it was a pleasant walk. Whilst in the area visit some of the nearby temples and traditional samurai family houses.
Beautiful historic walk, went twice and it was not overrun by tourists either time. This place really looks like the photos posted- I didn’t come at some arbitrary time at the crack of dawn to snap then without tourists. I just wish there was more signs with the history of the area on display. Most of the signs were about what the buildings were made of, which I didn’t find personally intriguing.
