Very interesting tour of a Samurai house. Top marks for a well designed home garden with Koi fishes. However, we didnt have a guided tour and am sure there are many interesting things we might miss...
Tiny buy worthwhile

A few small rooms with Samurai armor on display. You feel the history as you walk thru each room. An amazing garden enhances the experience.
