What to expect
Upon entering the Nomura-ke Samurai Residence, guests are transported into the refined world of feudal Japan. After removing footwear at the entrance, a customary practice in traditional Japanese homes. You will move through a sequence of beautifully appointed tatami rooms adorned with ornate shoji screens, aged wooden beams, and carefully preserved household items once belonging to the Nomura samurai family. Displays of samurai armour, lacquerware, calligraphy scrolls, and antique furnishings offer an intimate and deeply atmospheric portrait of life during the Edo period.
Beyond the interior rooms, the residence opens onto a celebrated traditional Japanese garden, a serene landscape of sculpted greenery, stepping stones, a tranquil koi pond, and stone lanterns that change with the seasons. Whether blanketed in cherry blossoms in spring or draped in fiery foliage in autumn, the garden provides a peaceful counterpoint to the historic rooms within.
