Why not visit the site of the former residence of Saigo Yorimo, a retainer of the Aizu clan who survived during the end of the Edo period? This place, where the beliefs of samurai and the turbulent history still resonate, is decorated with luxurious Japanese-style architecture and furnishings from that time. You can also visit the "room of self-disembowelment" where Yorimo himself committed seppuku. In addition, be sure to see the "Nayotake no Hi" monument, which features a death poem by his wife, Chigeko. It's the perfect destination to reflect on a figure who lived through the end of the Edo period and the Meiji Restoration.
