What other travelers are saying about Nagamachi Samurai District
We walked through the Nagamachi District also known as the Samurai district and we enjoyed our time here.
The neighborhood is quaint with traditional houses and small streets. It was not too crowded which also helped enjoy the experience even more. There are some pretty nice shops there and the residence of a Samurai which you can visit for 550 yen/person, but it was too late for us.
The small garden dotted here and there were my favorite part, highlighting the beautiful Japanese style.
Quaint traditional part of town that wasn’t crowded. There are a few small museums and art shops here. There is limited shade so we came mid-afternoon when it was a little cooler.
Easy to get to via bus or on foot.
The historical samurai district in Kanazawa!
Definitely a must see if you're in Kanazawa, it is a great place to wander and get a glimpse of the samurai houses and gardens interspersed between the kutani and lacquer ware artisans selling some beautiful pieces.
A great way to spend a couple hours in Kanazawa, it is also near the gardens making for a lovely afternoon if you're feeling up for walking.
Great little samurai district of Japan. It's Not a Super Happening spot BUT does give you a glimpse and feel of the Samurais Life as you walk the neighborhood, especially, if you visit the Samurai House which is the highlight, we felt, of the area. ENJOY!!
