Step back in time at the Nagamachi Samurai District in Kanazawa, where meticulously preserved Edo-era streets and samurai residences offer a glimpse into feudal Japan. Located a short walk from the bustling Korinbo area, this historical district features earthen walls, stone-paved lanes, and meticulously maintained homes. Don't miss the Nomura House, a beautifully restored samurai residence with stunning gardens and intricate architecture.
