basic information

Streets of Nagamachi

Nagamachi is a district at the foot of the former Kanazawa Castle, where samurai used to reside. The area preserves a historic atmosphere with its remaining samurai mansions, earthen walls, private entrance gates, narrow lanes and water canal.

Nomura House, an elegant samurai mansion with a beautiful, small garden, is open to the public. The Nomura were a high ranked samurai family who, like many other samurai, went broke when Japan's feudal era came to an end with the Meiji Period.

Kaga Yuzen Work Shop (Saihitsuan) stands on the former site of a samurai house and is now a silk dyeing workshop open to the public. Visitors can observe the artists as they mix colors and paint beautiful designs on silk.
