[About Izumi-Fumoto] During the Edo period, the Satsuma domain prepared for external attacks by placing satellite castles (Tojo) around its main castle, Kagoshima Castle, and housing samurai clans there. This was a unique system of the Satsuma domain known as the Tojo System, and even today, many samurai residence clusters called 'Fumoto,' the centers of these Tojo, remain across Kagoshima Prefecture. Among them, 'Izumi Fumoto,' located on the border with the Higo domain, was one of the most strategically important bases for the domain's defense. In the Edo period, a meticulously planned Tojo (Fumoto) was constructed, and prominent samurai clans were stationed there. The 'Izumi Fumoto,' the largest samurai residence cluster of the Satsuma domain with such a history, has been designated as an Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings by the country, preserving the history of the Satsuma samurai and the beautiful scenery that continues from that time.
