About 45 minutes west of Morioka via the Shinkansen (Bullet Train), Kakunodate is an old samurai town that actually still has some of its samurai district intact. As you will see from the following pictures, many of the characteristics that we saw in the samurai houses (tatami mats, color schemes, etc) were very similar to the ryokans that we stayed at.

The train station was in the south part of Kakunodate, while the Samurai district was in the north. On our way north, this was the entrance to the first Samurai house that we came upon.
