Kakunodate is a small Japanese town in the north of Honshu island. It's famous for featuring a preserved section that dates to the Samurai era. Traditional Japanese houses, minimalist with tatami mats and lanes lined with dark wood fencing. Any time of year is good for a visit, timing it for fall color is special.
Taking a stroll down one of the fenced streets.
A gate leading to a Samurai house and the fall color, bragging.
People dress up in traditional Japanese outfits and come make an afternoon of it, snapping themselves in the classic environment. Time to get your obis on, ladies.
Nice details, a carved eave and another entrance.
Go ahead, get the full experience, hop a rickshaw.
More leaf porn. And the ladies again: old setting, modern selfies.
Looking like a train set model of old Japan.
