Ashigaru Nagaya

Overview

Step back in time at the Ashigaru Nagaya, a remarkably preserved row house in Shibata, dating back to the late Edo period. Once home to low-ranking samurai of the Shibata Domain, this historical gem offers a glimpse into the lives of these warriors. Located near Shimizu-en Garden, the simple, thatched-roof structure provides a stark contrast to the elegance of the nearby gardens, highlighting the social hierarchy of the time. Explore the modest living quarters and imagine life in feudal Japan. Open to visitors, it's a must-see for history enthusiasts. Easily accessible, it's a 10-minute walk from JR Shibata Station or a 10-minute drive from the Seiro Shibata IC.
