    Ishikawa Kanazawa-shi Higashiyama 1-13-7
    "This cultural museum conveys the teahouse culture of Kanazawa to the present time. The museum building is a typical teahouse that was actually used during the Edo period. The first floor is used for art exhibitions and displays the luxurious colorful hairpins once used by Geisha. The second floor is a spacious drawing room, with vivid blue and red walls. The courtyard has a beautiful ""suikinkutsu"" (a buried earthen jar that makes sounds due to dripping water), also not to be missed."

    ひがし茶屋街にあるお茶屋の建物のひとつです。部屋はいくつかあり、なかでも青く塗られた壁の部屋が印象的でした。内部の写真撮影は禁止です。

    Ishikawa Pref. Kanazawashi Higashiyama 1-13-24

    赤い格子の花街だったひがし茶屋街。めっちゃ人込みでした。センスのよさそうなお店に入ると伝統工芸品を扱うギャラリーになってました。お茶屋の造りをそのままで、畳の上に金箔工芸品や、九谷焼とか飾ってはって、荷物当たったら大変やから、入り口で預けな入れません。でも、外は混んでるのに、中は静かでゆっくり見れるし、めっちゃ穴場でいいとこ見つけたわ-

Long, thin Ishikawa prefecture runs along the Sea of Japan up into Noto Peninsula. Highlights of the seaside towns lining the west coast include Kanazawa, often described as a "Little Kyoto" thanks to its old wooden tea houses and geisha culture as well as its picturesque Japanese garden, Kenroku-en.
