1 Chome-13 Higashiyama, Kanazawa, Ishikawa 920-0831, Japan

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)

Worth a visit, but probably later in the day. While there was barely anyone there, a lot of the shops & restaurants were closed. Easy access via the Kanazawa Loop Bus

Higashiyama Higashi Chaya District

1 Kenrokumachi, Kanazawa, Ishikawa 920-0936, Japan

It was fascinating to see how beautiful this garden was. It was pretty huge and had a lot of different trees and plants! My favorite would be the small island in the middle of the big pond. The place was well maintained. I would highly recommend that people visit this place when they are in Japan.

Lovely garden for all season, I have visited many times and will visit many more times. It is beautiful place to spent hours. Calm down and Relax, enjoy the nature.

It really depends on in what condition you go. I came here in winter three years ago and I thought it was quite boring compared to other Japanese gardens, but this year it was fantastic with snow and almost zero tourist.
Also, the garden is a lot larger than it appears on map. You can easily spend hours just by strolling, taking photos, and enjoy a short tea break.

Kenroku-en

Il quartiere delle geisha di Kanazawa è sublime. Tutto quello che ci si aspetta da un quartiere antico giapponese, ma senza la folla di Kyoto.
Andateci al tramonto, quando le luci ritoccano di rosso gli edifici in legno. In un instante, è pura magia.

Il quartiere delle geisha ancora intatto a Kanazawa

Kanazawa's geisha district is sublime. Everything you'd expect from an old Japanese neighborhood, but without the crowds of Kyoto.
Go there at sunset, when the lights turn the wooden buildings red. In an instant, it's pure magic.

The geisha district still intact in Kanazawa

An unexpected trip that I decided to take after years away from Japan. Some fairly cheap tickets, an idea of an itinerary, and here I am ready with suitcases in hand.
It was a very short trip, but little was the time I had available. There...

A taste of Japan from Osaka to Tokyo

Un viaggio inaspettato che decisi di fare dopo anni lontano dal Giappone. Dei biglietti abbastanza economici, un'idea di itinerario, ed eccomi pronta con le valigie in mano.
Fu un viaggio assai breve, ma poco era il tempo che avevo a disposizione. Ci...
