Then, enjoy a guided stroll through Kitsuki’s historic samurai district, with its perfectly preserved streets, wooden samurai residences, and peaceful atmosphere. You’ll feel like you've walked into a scene from a period drama. Along the way, we’ll stop at scenic spots for memorable photos and share fascinating stories about samurai culture, architecture, and daily life in Edo-period Japan.

Whether you're a culture lover, a photography enthusiast, or simply looking for a unique experience in Kyushu, this tour is a perfect blend of tradition, beauty, and history.
