Iwahashike
This warrior residence is located in Kakunodate. It managed to survive the great fire of 1900 in which several residences were destroyed. It is said this is because the roof was changed to one with shingles by the method of roofing called Kobabuki. The garden contains a large oak tree that is over 250 years old, making the high-class status of this warrior’s residence clear even today. This home was featured in the film “The Twilight Samurai.”
