Spend a quiet time in the largest samurai residences of the Satsuma domain
The garden seen from the porch is the dry garden of the Satsuma domain, which is said to be the oldest.
The chirping of small birds is comfortable, and you can spend a relaxing time as if time had stopped since the Edo period.
This facility is a valuable samurai residence where all of the three elements that make up the traditional samurai residence at the Izumi-Fumoto, the main house, the warehouse, and the field, still exist.
You can get a glimpse of the life of the “half-farming half-samurai” of the Satsuma samurai who worked hard as samurai and also worked in farming.
A stay that mixes with the daily life of the land
The people involved in this facility, including the manager, the chef in charge of breakfast, the experience provider, and the design and construction company, live in Izumi City.
During your stay, you can enjoy a relaxing interaction with the people at the Izumi-Fumoto and the neighboring shopping district, mix in with their daily lives, and spend the night as a resident.

A special sake cup "RITA Sorakyu" to be given to guests, one for each group (images are for reference)
“RITA Sorakyu” is a special sake cup that is given only to the guests of this facility.
In Kagoshima, where the shochu culture has taken root, it is an item to connect guests with the community.
If you take “RITA Sorakyu” to the affiliated store in the Izumi Honmachi-dori shopping district, which is adjacent to the Izumi-Fumoto samurai residences, you can get a bonus from the store.
In order to enjoy the town of Izumi, we have prepared a mechanism that will trigger a local excursion.
