Step back in time as you wander through the beautifully preserved wooden teahouses of the Higashi Chaya District, Kanazawa's largest and most famous geisha district. The atmosphere here is incredible, with traditional lattice-fronted buildings housing everything from gold-leaf craft shops to charming cafes. You can even peek inside a historic teahouse, like Shima or Kaikaro, to see where geisha have entertained guests for centuries. It's a perfect place for a leisurely stroll, especially in the late afternoon as the lanterns begin to glow.
