[Ishikawa] We recommend taking a stroll late into the night! Enjoy the atmosphere in the dimly lit town streets.

2.5 hours by Shinkansen from Tokyo 🚄
Kanazawa is a popular tourist spot throughout Japan

Even in Kanazawa, the most popular tourist spot is the townhouse district where the Edo-period atmosphere still remains ✨

The most popular townhouse district is "#Higashi Chayamachi"

What I would like to recommend when visiting such a townhouse district is to wander around at night 🌃
Everyone, don't you usually go around during the day, look around, take pictures, and enjoy yourself? ?
But have you ever felt that there were too many people, or that you couldn't take the photos you wanted at all?

The nighttime hours solve that problem, and the townhouse district, which is slightly lit by street lamps and shop lights, gives it a more atmospheric and charming feel ✨
I took the photos after 11pm 🕚

It was a Saturday, and it was full of people during the day 😫

But at this time of day, it was deserted, just as you can see in the photo! You can take photos without people around and enjoy the atmosphere at your own pace 😄
Of course, it's not like there's no one there
but it's mostly Westerners and Japanese people 😯

It may be a prejudice, but Westerners don't talk loudly so as not to ruin the quiet atmosphere, and they wait while you're taking photos, so I'm very happy that they have good manners ☺️
If they try to take a selfie, you'll want to ask them if you want to take one for them 😄

So, Higashi Chaya District is nice during the day, but it's also amazing at night! Why not visit Chaya District at night after having dinner while sightseeing in Kanazawa? 😆
