Kanazawa | Kazuemachi Teahouse Street, a Geisha Street Full of Showa Style

#JulyDestinations2025

✓Kazuemachi Teahouse Street

One of Kanazawa's three major teahouse districts, Kazuemachi is located near the bustling Higashi Chaya Street, but it's much less crowded, offering a tranquil stroll along the Asano River. Kazuemachi's name derives from the residence of Tomita Kazuemachi, a samurai from the Kaga domain. Its wooden buildings, cherry blossom trees, and riverside attractions create a charming atmosphere.

Kazuemachi's narrow streets are lined with traditional buildings. Most are geisha teahouses, accessible only through referrals. However, a few restaurants and cafes along the riverside promenade are open to the public.

Access: Take the Kanazawa Loop Bus, Hokuriku Local Line Bus, or West JR Bus to Hashibacho. Walk for about 5 minutes.
