Takezoetei
"This samurai residence, a part of the Izumi-Fumoto Samurai Residences, is located at the intersection of Tatebaba Street and Kariyababa Street. Members of the Takezoe family served in a variety of important positions such as kumigashira and atsukai after relocating their residence from Komenotsu to Izumi-Fumoto in 1637. The home and its garden are more modest than the other samurai residences in Izumi-Fumoto because its close location to the border between Satsuma Province and Higo Province, but it dictated a stronger focus on strategic facilities. Takezoetei even served as a filming location for the Taiga Drama (the NHK's annual series of historical dramas) ""Atsuhime"" The home's convenient location a five-minute drive from JR Izumi Station and the fact that guides are always on duty make it an easy choice as a sightseeing destination."
