information |
Teramachi ("temple town") is Kanazawa's eastern temple district. As in castle towns across the country, Kanazawa's temple district was originally located just outside of the city.
Ninjadera
Teramachi's main attraction is Ninjadera ("Ninja Temple"), more formally known as Myoryuji. The temple was nicknamed after ninja, "Japanese spies", because of its many gadgets aimed against possible intruders, such as hidden tunnels, secret rooms and a labyrinth of corridors and staircases.
Ninjadera can only be viewed by reserved tours, held in Japanese.
Today, Kanazawa is capital of Ishikawa Prefecture, a prefecture along the Sea of Japan.
