Kazuemachi Chaya District

The Chaya District near “Asanogawa-ohashi Bridge” in Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture is also where the mansion of Toda Kazue Shigeie of the Kaga clan once stood. The area flourished as a pleasure quarter from the Meiji era to before the war and still today is a town of many town houses with latticed windows and cobblestones. There are a variety of Japanese restaurants and tea houses, as well as café bars reusing the old town houses and at dusk visitors can hear the sounds of shamisen coming from the houses. This is the town that became the stage of Hiroyuki Itsuki’s novel, and there are many spots related to the literary master Kyoka Izumi who was born in neighboring Shimoshin Town.
