Ukogis' Hedges Samurai Residences

A street of samurai residences enveloped in tranquility, preserving the echoes of Edo.
The 'edible hedge, Ukogi,' recommended by Lord Uesugi Yozan, continues to create a beautiful green landscape.
A place where the wisdom and life of the samurai 'Haragata-shu,' who lived robustly with sword and hoe, still breathe. 
The vibrant green corridor, extending over 20km, is perfect for strolling through the historic townscape. 
In spring, the culture of eating new shoots remains, allowing you to feel the harmony of history and life unique to Yonezawa.
