Samurai Residence of the Miwa Family
Well-preserved Edo-period samurai residence with timber architecture, shōji screens, earthen walls and a small garden — great for interior detail shots, architectural lines and seasonal scenes (autumn colors, snow). Visit mornings or late afternoon for soft side-light; autumn and winter offer the most dramatic contrast. Small site in Kaminoyama; check opening hours and modest entry fee; park in nearby municipal lot. Be respectful of rules inside the house.
