For nearly 300 years, the Satsuma Domain ruled as one of the most powerful feudal clans during the Edo period (1603 \u2013 1867) and one of the influential parties that triggered the Meiji Restoration and the proceeding dismantling of the feudal system during the Meiji era (1868 \u2013 1912). Today, many of the feudal townships and streets are preserved in different pockets throughout Kagoshima, including&nbsp;<strong>Shibushi Samurai Street<\/strong>&nbsp;(\u5fd7\u5e03\u5fd7\u6b66\u5bb6\u5c4b\u6577\u7fa4)<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>in Shibushi City (\u5fd7\u5e03\u5fd7\u5e02).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-8 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"98076\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/11124109\/shibushi_samurai_street_kagoshima_17-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Traditional Japanese samurai house with stone walls covered with greenery in Japan\" class=\"wp-image-98076\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/11124109\/shibushi_samurai_street_kagoshima_17-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/11124109\/shibushi_samurai_street_kagoshima_17-400x500.jpg 400w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/11124109\/shibushi_samurai_street_kagoshima_17-150x188.jpg 150w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/11124109\/shibushi_samurai_street_kagoshima_17.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"98091\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/11132758\/shibushi_samurai_street_kagoshima_22-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Wooden gateway of Japanese samurai house in Kagoshima, Japan\" class=\"wp-image-98091\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/11132758\/shibushi_samurai_street_kagoshima_22-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/11132758\/shibushi_samurai_street_kagoshima_22-400x500.jpg 400w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/11132758\/shibushi_samurai_street_kagoshima_22-150x188.jpg 150w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/11132758\/shibushi_samurai_street_kagoshima_22.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"98073\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/11124056\/shibushi_samurai_street_kagoshima_16-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Japanese garage with large noh masks and view of a garden in Kagoshima, Japan\" class=\"wp-image-98073\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/11124056\/shibushi_samurai_street_kagoshima_16-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/11124056\/shibushi_samurai_street_kagoshima_16-400x500.jpg 400w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/11124056\/shibushi_samurai_street_kagoshima_16-150x188.jpg 150w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/11124056\/shibushi_samurai_street_kagoshima_16.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"98072\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/11123945\/shibushi_samurai_street_kagoshima_36-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Japanese samurai gateway with large stone stairs in Kagoshima, Japan\" class=\"wp-image-98072\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/11123945\/shibushi_samurai_street_kagoshima_36-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/11123945\/shibushi_samurai_street_kagoshima_36-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/11123945\/shibushi_samurai_street_kagoshima_36-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/11123945\/shibushi_samurai_street_kagoshima_36-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/11123945\/shibushi_samurai_street_kagoshima_36-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/11123945\/shibushi_samurai_street_kagoshima_36.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption wp-element-caption\">Look for the purple banners that mark some historical sites, including other samurai properties and castle ruins. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The samurai residences are concentrated along two main roads that branch off from the Shibushi Elementary School.
