What other travelers are saying about Nagamachi Samurai District
We walked through the Nagamachi District also known as the Samurai district and we enjoyed our time here.
The neighborhood is quaint with traditional houses and small streets. It was not too crowded which also helped enjoy the experience even more. There are some pretty nice shops there and the residence of a Samurai which you can visit for 550 yen/person, but it was too late for us.
The small garden dotted here and there were my favorite part, highlighting the beautiful Japanese style.
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.
Great little samurai district of Japan. It's Not a Super Happening spot BUT does give you a glimpse and feel of the Samurais Life as you walk the neighborhood, especially, if you visit the Samurai House which is the highlight, we felt, of the area. ENJOY!!
