Bōgakutei Fujiya
Located at the foot of the eastern entrance to Satta Pass, this place was once a bustling hub for many literati and artists, serving as a secondary post station and tea house.It is said that on March 7, 1868, when Yamaoka Tesshu, commander of an elite unit of Tokugawa shogunate retainers, was being pursued by government forces, he disguised himself as a fisherman in the storehouse compound of Bōgaku-tei, escaped via a secret staircase, and left behind a state-of-the-art French-made ten-shot revolver. The building, the atmosphere of the rooms, and the revolver—all unchanged from that era—tell the story of history.
