[Kanazawa🇯🇵] Higashi Chaya District🍵 A stroll through the historic town✨ Enjoy the beautiful atmosphere of Kanazawa both day and night

Higashi Chaya District is a classic tourist spot in Kanazawa.
Wooden teahouse buildings line the cobblestone streets, creating an atmosphere that makes you feel like you've traveled back in time to the Edo period.

🏮History of Higashi Chaya District
Higashi Chaya District was established around 1820 (late Edo period) when the Kanazawa Domain officially gathered together teahouses.
At the time, it flourished as a place where geisha entertained guests with their songs and dances, and much of that atmosphere remains today.

Today, the area is designated as an Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings, and its historic streetscape is carefully preserved. 🏠✨

🌞Higashi Chaya District in the Daytime
During the day, the area bustles with tourists, lined with traditional craft shops and cafes serving Japanese sweets. Some people were wearing yukata, so it seems like they have rentals nearby. 👘
The wooden lattice buildings shone golden in the sunlight, making for a great photo spot. 📸✨
We recommend enjoying Kaga Bancha tea and gold leaf sweets while strolling along the street.

🌙 Higashi Chaya District at Night
As dusk approaches, the streets thin out, creating a quiet, mystical atmosphere.
The soft light filtering through the lattice windows evokes the atmosphere of the area's former red-light district.
The streetscape at night is like a scene from a movie, offering a completely different beauty than the daytime. ✨
The shops generally close at 5:00 PM, so it was already pitch black when we arrived at 5:30 PM. If you want to visit, get there early!
