Nishi Chaya District has a more relaxed view than Higashi Chaya District.

Nishi Chaya District, along with Higashi Chaya District and Kazuemachi Chaya District, is said to be one of the three great chaya districts in Kanazawa.

Higashi Chaya District is always full of tourists, but Nishi Chaya District is a little quieter, so you can take your time and look around.

There seem to be many shops with geisha and traditional Japanese restaurants.

At the Kanazawa City Nishi Chaya Museum, built on the site of the tea shop where the writer Shimada Seijiro spent his childhood, you can see a vermilion room that recreates the tea shop.

I think it's a good place to learn about tea shop culture.

Of course, the museum also has an exhibition related to Shimada Seijiro.
