Create an itinerary including Nomura Family Samurai House
Step back into the past as you visit Nomura Family Samurai House, a traditional Japanese home. The residence of the Nomura family for 10 generations, the house gives a good introduction to the lifestyle and traditions of well-positioned and influential families during the Edo period, with a number of artifacts and areas preserved as they were, including a tea-ceremony room once used for greeting esteemed guests. The sliding panel doors, a roof made entirely from Japanese cypresses, and traditional garden of bonsais, bayberries, and a gentle stream, each add to the evocative air and educational value of the home.

  • The ticket was a bit expensive, but the Japanese styled garden made it worth it. Sitting by the garden feels so relaxing and peaceful, it’s the perfect place to spend some time after a tiring walk through the samurai district.
  • A must-see samurai house with a stunning garden in Kanazawa. Every Japanese element is packed in this traditional architecture. You can enjoy true zen atmosphere in the garden and the tea room. Also, don’t miss out fine details of walls and ceilings.
