Optional: Visit a teahouse museum (like Kaikaro) or grab a gold-leaf soft-serve ice cream.

Kaikaro Teahouse in Kanazawa's Higashi Chaya District is a hidden gem that offers a glimpse into traditional Japanese entertainment. With its preserved interior, authentic tatami rooms, and occasional geisha performances, visitors can step back in time to the Edo period. The teahouse also features unique souvenirs, including UV t-shirts with modernized geisha designs and gold leaf-laced sake. Don't miss the chance to enjoy green tea and Japanese sweets in the cozy cafe while soaking in the historic atmosphere of this charming establishment.
