A: Hey there, have you heard about the old Maekawa Residence in Mibu, Kyoto?
B: No, what's new there?

A: Well, it's going to open its doors for everyone soon! It was once a secret place with connections to the Shinsengumi and some pretty intense stories.

B: The Shinsengumi? Those are the samurai warriors, right?

A: Yes! And this house has seen quite a bit of action from them. There are sword marks left behind in wood from their battles, and it's where General Commander Yamanami Keisuke committed seppuku.

B: Wow, that's wild! I didn't know the Maekawa residence was connected to the Shinsengumi.

A: Yeah, it's amazing when you think about samurai warriors walking around this place and living here. Even now, the current owner, Hitoshi Tano, lives there.

B: That's crazy! I can't wait to go check it out. It must be like stepping back in time.

A: Totally! And they're even planning on opening up the interior for regular visits soon. Can't wait to see more of its secrets!
