| Description | The street suddenly takes a 90 degree turn quickly followed by a second one. This is called kaimagari. It prevents you from seeing very far down the street and aids the defense of the samurai quarter and the castle in general. Not just in Hagi, but everywhere castle towns were designed with defense in mind to slow attackers and prevent them form easily reaching the castle. Streets like this are nicely preserved Hagi. |
