Higashi Chaya District

A preserved geisha entertainment quarter distinguished by wooden teahouses, lattice façades, and the refined atmosphere of old Kanazawa.
Established in the early nineteenth century as one of Kanazawa licensed teahouse districts, the area retains its elegant machiya architecture and cultural traditions. Narrow lanes, teahouse performances, and artisan shops present a graceful streetscape shaped by centuries of urban artistry.
