The castle town of Nagoya was centered around Nagoya Castle and was divided into a samurai region, a townsfolk region and a temple/shrine region. The area which is currently referred to as the Cultural Path was a region of samurai residences representative of the castle town in the Edo Period. Many businessmen had mansions in the area during the Taisho Period.

From samurai residences to Western-style buildings. The Cultural Path is a symbolic neighborhood of Nagoya.　During the Edo Period, mid-ranking samurai of the Owari Clan had residences in the Shirakabe, Chikara and Shumoku areas stretching from Nagoya Castle to the Tokugawa Garden. In later years, businessmen and cultural figures representative of the Chubu region moved into the area, and Western-style buildings were constructed from the Taisho Period to the Showa Period.
