Cobblestone Roads and Traditional Architecture
The Higashi Tea House Street in Kanazawa's castle town, built more than 100 years ago, exists as it was when it was first built. Visitors can rent period clothing and enjoy a leisurely walk around town. Japanese sweet shops, tradtional craftspeople and various knick-knack shops line the streets along with cafes and restaurants. It's possible to dine with geisha at the tea houses as well. You can even listen to shamisen [a type of Japanese guitar] and taiko [Japanese drum] music. Due to the area being very popular with tourists, if you're hoping to get photos of the surrounding scenery, it would be best to visit in the early morning or late afternoon, if possible.
