Create an itinerary including 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.

A very pretty area that boasts lots of history and culture. It’s great if you dress up in a kimono and visit one of the cafes and slowly enjoy the area. It’s very small and out the way so I’d plan getting lunch there to make it worth it.
