Why Visit Nagamachi Samurai District?

A District Where Samurai Once Lived

The Nagamachi Samurai District is not a reconstructed attraction.
It is an authentic neighborhood where samurai families once lived, with preserved earthen walls, narrow lanes, and canals.

Walking here allows you to understand:

• How samurai lived day to day
• Why Kanazawa developed such a refined culture
• The balance between strength and aesthetics in samurai life

Guided by Locals, Not Scripts

Because we are local guides, we can also introduce:

• Hidden alleys and quiet photo spots
• Cafés inside former samurai houses
• Small details most visitors walk past without noticing

Each tour is slightly different, depending on the group.
