Former Mibu Headquarters Yagi Residence, located in Kyoto’s Nakagyo Ward, is a historic site that served as one of the headquarters of the Shinsengumi during the late Edo period. Known as the birthplace of the Shinsengumi, the residence preserves the atmosphere of the time when its members were active in Kyoto. It is a popular destination for history enthusiasts as well as visitors interested in Kyoto’s culture and Japan’s Bakumatsu era.
The Yagi Residence was one of the first bases used by the Shinsengumi after they arrived in Kyoto. Visitors can view historical exhibits and artifacts related to the group, offering a glimpse into one of the most turbulent periods in Japanese history. Just a short walk away is Mibu-dera Temple, another important site associated with the Shinsengumi. Together with other nearby historical landmarks, the area provides an excellent opportunity to explore Kyoto’s rich samurai heritage and historical atmosphere.
