Step back in time and experience the quiet elegance of the samurai era at the Nomura-ke residence. This beautifully preserved home offers a rare glimpse into the life of a high-ranking samurai family. You can wander through rooms with intricate woodwork and painted screens, but the real treasure is the award-winning inner garden. It's a perfect oasis of tranquility, with a meandering stream, a tiny waterfall, and ancient trees, best viewed from the upstairs tea room.
