Hiking

The tourist hotspot of Kanazawa. If you want, you can rent a kimono with all the bells and whistles and stroll through the old streets disguised as such.

Great samurai district, clearer than the Gesha district, it's worth visiting a samurai house

Hiking

This isn't the samurai district, but the geiko district. Geiko is the name for geisha in Kanazawa. It's a connected ensemble of very beautiful houses. A special feature are the wooden louvers in front of the windows, which only allow a view in one direction. The district as a whole has the same name, Higashiyama, as Kyoto, but is smaller and less crowded.
