Explore the Nabari Todo Family Residence Site, the former home of a branch of the Todo clan dating back to the early Edo period. Though only a portion of the original estate remains after a fire in the 1700s, the meticulously maintained residence offers a glimpse into the life of an upper-class samurai family. Wander through the elegant buildings and admire the traditional Japanese garden. Knowledgeable staff provide insightful explanations of the residence's history and the artifacts on display. Located within a 5-10 minute walk from Nabari Station, it's an easily accessible historical gem. Spring is a particularly beautiful time to visit when the garden's cherry blossoms are in bloom.
