Kazuemachi ChayagaiA Whisper of Old Kanazawa. Nestled along the banks of the tranquil Asano River, Kazue-machi feels like a town frozen in time. Unlike its busier neighbor, this district offers a quiet, poetic beauty. The long, narrow row of dark wooden chaya (teahouses) reflects perfectly on the river's surface, creating an unforgettable, picturesque scene, especially as dusk approaches.
-
Higashi Chaya DistrictWe will take you to the Higashi Chaya District, Kanazawa's largest and most famous teahouse quarter, where the preserved world of the Edo Period awaits. It is characterized by its beautifully uniform wooden architecture and atmospheric cobbled streets. This district is one of the very few places in Japan where the chaya (teahouses)—where geisha traditionally entertained wealthy merchants and samurai with music, dance, and song—are still preserved and actively used. As you walk the meticulously maintained main street and peer down the narrow side alleys, your English-speaking guide will illuminate the district’s rich history.
