Higashichaya Old Town
Step back in time to an age of samurais and geishas at Higashichaya Old Town, one of the nation's most intact and best-preserved fortified towns. Explore the historic district, dating from the Edo period, and marvel at its network of narrow streets lined with low, wood-paneled buildings. You'll pass small stores, cafes, and several historic teahouses that have stood there for centuries. Be sure to get off the main street to delve into the maze of back alleys crisscrossing the area. Put Higashichaya Old Town and other Kanazawa attractions into our Kanazawa trip builder tool, and watch your holiday take shape.

I highly recommend this place when you visit Kanazawa. Enjoy the breathtaking historic architectures, local Sake and Japanese sweets!! You can find some interesting souvenirs that you can only purchase here at Higashi Chaya District. It took about 1-2 hours to check all the stores there

Classic Japanese view. Would recommend to everyone who watches Japanese movies for example (studio ghibli), and wants to see a Japanese village in real life. Absolutely a big recommendation of mine. Have fun visiting and tell your family / friends they should go there. (If they want)
