Background

The Ishiguro Residence is the oldest samurai home in Kakunodate. The Ishiguro were in charge of finances for the domain and the highest ranking retainer to the the Satake. Despite the high rank, the house is fairly modest but does display some subtle points that are significant of an upper class samurai such as the style of garden and the blackened fence around the house. This is the oldest remaining house in Kakunodate. The family still lives in part of the house so only a portion is open to the public.
