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.

Here is the interior of the third Samurai house. Notice the item hanging from the ceiling, and the cooking pit directly below it; just like the restaurant in our Narita City ryokan!
