2016-12-10 15:17:22 | traditional city tri
I would like to inform Kanazawa Chayamachi trip.

Kanazawa has famous pleasure quarter, Higashi Chayamachi, and Nishi Chayamachi.


I buy the one day free ticket for bus, ¥500.
I go to East Chayamachi, by right route.
About 15minutes, I arrive at East Chayamachi.

From the bus stop to Asano River to explore the river.
There is a feeling similar to Kamogawa in Kyoto.

Next, I will head to Higashi Chaya Street.
This is an important traditional building group conservation area, known by the name of Higashi Chaya Street.

About 130 m in the north and south, about 180 m in the east and west, about 1.8 ha, about two-thirds of the buildings 140 in the preserved district are traditional buildings, many of the tea house style town houses built in the early Meiji period from the Edo period It remains. Street-style houses with cobblestones and beautiful bell-moutains keep the old-fashioned aspects.

Especially the area around Nibanchi is crowded with tourists.
"Shima" and "Kaikaro" are a large number of tourists entering.


"Shima" is a tea house built in 1820, as it is the house of the Edo period as it is, it is highly valued as a precious cultural heritage.
The second floor is a guest house, and it is a stylish building mainly based on amusement.

Kaikaro is the biggest tea house in Kanazawa.

In the evening, we are still playing tea ceremony at a gorgeous Japanese-style room.

We also have a plan called "Yoyukai", where people can experience Kaga cuisine as well as tea house playing for the general public.

This neighborhood is walking in a kimono figure.

To the east of Higashi Chaya-cho is a temple shop, UtaSu shrine has a ninja doll under the eaves.

It is a quite interesting setting.

Next, I will go to Kanazawa Castle Park.
In this park, I am lighting up at night.
It's cold, but you can enjoy a beautiful light up.
Maeda Toshiie's statue is dignifiedly set.

Next, I go to Nishi Chaya-cho.

Nishi Chaya-cho, about 10 years ago, roads were not maintained and it was not a sightseeing spot, but Kanazawa City cobbled the road, the houses were also renovated, now it is a wonderful as Nishi Chaya-cho I am reborn as a sightseeing spot.

I go to Nishi Chaya museum.
Admission is free.


The Nishi Chaya museum is a reproduction of the building at the time in the tea house "Yoshinoriro" , "Yoshinoriro" is the place that became the stage of the novel "ground" of Shimada Kijiro who became a writer.

On the second floor, there is a space between Maiko and Geisha, introducing the prosperity of the Edo period.
The wall of the eroded color is beautiful.

There are tours where you can see the arts and dance of Kanazawa Geisha.

In Kanazawa, the city is full of vigor, as the Shinkansen connected Kanazawa last year.

Please walk around Kanazawa's Chayamachi.

That's it.
