[Ishikawa/Kanazawa] Higashi Chaya District

Kanazawa's Higashi Chaya District is a historic streetscape that still retains the atmosphere of the Edo period, and is a standard spot for sightseeing in Kanazawa. The narrow alleys are lined with charming townhouses, giving you a nostalgic feeling. Although it is a teahouse district, it is now a tourist destination, with stylish cafes and souvenir shops lined up among the traditional buildings, making it the perfect place to enjoy a stroll. We recommend looking around the area for Japanese goods and crafts that are typical of Kanazawa while taking in the atmosphere of the townhouses. In addition, some of the traditional teahouses offer places where you can experience tea ceremony and enjoy matcha tea. The Higashi Chaya District Tourist Information Center in the center of the town will explain the history and sights, so it is convenient to stop by before sightseeing. ◆Access About 15 minutes by bus from Kanazawa Station. Get off at the bus stop "Hashiba-cho" and it is a short walk away. It is also about 20 minutes on foot from Kanazawa Station, so it is fun to walk there as well. Take a stroll through Higashi Chaya District and enjoy the atmosphere of the Edo period and experience the history of Kanazawa. #DomesticTravelRecords
