Stay in a Satsuma samurai residence,

A quiet and peaceful stay
at the samurai residence

The Satsuma samurai who once lived in Izumi Fumoto led a "half farmer, half warrior" lifestyle, where they would cultivate and farm their own fields while still honing their martial skills.
The three samurai mansions that function as the guest house buildings are all over 100 years old. These residences have maintained the traditional bukeyashiki -style of samurai residences, offering a glimpse into the frugal yet sophisticated lifestyles of the Satsuma warriors.
