Beyond Time: Feel the Breath of the Samurai

In the Edo Period, Aizu was a symbolic samurai town that supported the Tokugawa shogunate. However, in the second half of the 19th century, the Aizu clan became caught up in the maelstrom of the Boshin War, a civil war that broke out during Japan's transition from the feudal system to an emperor system. Before long, the castle town of Aizu was exposed to the flames of war, and the Bukeyashiki was almost completely destroyed by fire.
The people of Aizu, lamenting this, took the finding of drawings of the chief retainer's residence (SAIGO Tanomo's residence) as an opportunity for the basis of thorough background research, and planned a restoration. In 1975, the present day "Aizu Bukeyashiki" was completed, including period buildings such as the historical archive, tearoom, and administrative headquarters.
