🏠 Kido Takayoshi Former Residence | A journey to feel the pulse of history in the house where a key figure in the Meiji Restoration grew up

#AbsolutelyFreeTrip

The Kido Takayoshi Former Residence in Hagi City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, is the birthplace and home of Kido Takayoshi (also known as Katsura Kogoro), one of the central figures of the Meiji Restoration. ✨
The simple yet dignified appearance of this residence exudes his personality and aspirations, making it a must-see spot for history buffs.

The moment you step inside the wooden building, you feel as if you're transported back to the end of the Edo period.

The exhibits and detailed explanations offer a deep insight into his life and thoughts.

The quiet surroundings make it the perfect place to immerse yourself in history. 📜
🚃Access: Approximately 20 minutes' walk from JR Higashi-Hagi Station
🚗By car: Approximately 50 minutes from Mine Higashi IC on the Chugoku Expressway (parking available nearby).

Enjoy a history-chasing getaway with your partner, or follow in the footsteps of this patriot on a solo trip.
Next time, I'd like to visit the historical sites in Kyoto and Tokyo where he was active... That's what I'm feeling! 🌿
