Kakunodate Samurai District
Semboku
Creator's voice
Known as "Little Kyoto of Michinoku," this beautiful district features streets lined with black-fenced samurai residences. It's a place where just walking around reveals its charm, offering a slightly luxurious way for adults to spend their time. Be aware that even in the morning, there can be significant traffic; if you want to avoid cars, aim to visit after 9:30 AM, though it's not a pedestrian-only zone. The surrounding town also matches the samurai district's aesthetic, with familiar shops like convenience stores having a unique, traditional look.

A famous restaurant known for its Hinai-jidori (Hinai chicken) dishes, with many celebrity autographs adorning the walls. It's the perfect place to enjoy a meal after a long walk.

- Hinai-jidori Oyakodon and Inaniwa Udon Set — This set features Hinai-jidori Oyakodon (chicken and egg rice bowl) and Inaniwa Udon. The udon noodles are surprisingly thin but incredibly chewy and delicious, perfect for a hot day. The oyakodon has a rich dashi broth, tender chicken, and wonderfully runny eggs – absolutely delicious!
