Izumi-fumoto Kominka
Izumi City, Kagoshima Pref.
Izumi City, located on the border with Kumamoto Prefecture in Kagoshima, is home to Fumoto Town, a historic samurai district established in the late 16th century on a plateau at the foot of Castle Mountain for border defense. Known as the largest samurai residential area in Kyushu, its elegant streets lined with hedges atop stone walls and well-preserved samurai residences are designated as a National Important Preservation District. This kominka is one such former samurai residence, featuring traditional regional fences, a samurai gate, and a graceful main house with a low roof. Despite its cultural value, the property includes parking and offers excellent convenience, with a Shinkansen station just an 18-minute walk away. Schools, city offices, and supermarkets are also within walking distance, making daily life easy and comfortable.
