Fuimos sin tener del todo claro a lo que íbamos y nos pareció impresionante. La “casa” museo samurai es un espectáculo. Merece la pena 100%. Como recomendación, mejor ir con 45 min - 1 hora de tiempo, para no tener que ir corriendo.
El día que fuimos la entrada era gratis, el personal es muy amable con los extranjeros y se ponen felices de ver que quieres conocer su cultura . El lugar es muy bonito y Bien conservado. Un lindo paseo para conocer un poco de la historia antigua de Takayama
