Autumn Foliage Peak Viewing: Ohara Residence

About this event

At Ohara Residence in Kitsuki City, Oita Prefecture, autumn leaves reach their peak viewing season from mid-November to early December 2026. Among the Kitadai Samurai Residence Street lined with former estates of high-ranking samurai, the Ohara Residence is a valuable architectural heritage that conveys the lifestyle and atmosphere of the time as the residence of a high-ranking samurai who served in important posts such as Karo (Chief Retainer). While modest, its high status can be seen throughout, featuring a thatched roof, a beautiful strolling garden, a wide entrance foyer, the presence of a tsugi-no-ma (adjoining waiting room), and a bow-shaped ceiling. Experiencing the autumn foliage while engaging with the culture and living wisdom of the Edo period will be an exceptional experience. Final admission is until 16:30.
