ひがし茶屋街は、金沢の中でも特に風情あふれるエリアで、江戸時代から続く茶屋文化を今に伝える美しい町並みが広がっています。格子戸の町家が整然と並び、石畳の小道を歩くと、どこからか三味線の音色が聞こえてきそうな、タイムスリップしたような感覚に包まれます。伝統的なお茶屋さんのほか、和菓子や加賀棒茶を楽しめるカフェ、工芸品や金箔アクセサリーを扱うショップも点在し、散策するだけで金沢の文化を存分に感じられます。夕暮れ時には柔らかな灯りがともり、昼間とはまた違う幻想的な雰囲気に。かつて芸妓さんがもてなしていた格式高い空間を今も大切に残すひがし茶屋街は、歴史とロマンが交差する特別な場所で、訪れる人に深い余韻を残してくれます。
Higashi Chaya District is one of Kanazawa’s most atmospheric areas, preserving the elegance of traditional teahouse culture since the Edo period. Rows of wooden machiya townhouses with lattice façades line the stone-paved streets, creating a timeless scene where you can almost imagine the sound of shamisen drifting through the air. Beyond the historic teahouses, the district is home to charming cafés offering Japanese sweets and Kaga roasted tea, as well as boutiques selling gold leaf crafts and local artisanal treasures. As the sun sets, lanterns glow softly, transforming the streets into a dreamlike landscape that feels both romantic and nostalgic. Once a refined entertainment quarter where geisha entertained guests, Higashi Chaya still preserves its cultural soul, offering visitors a rare glimpse into Kanazawa’s rich history and artistry. Wandering through its streets is not just sightseeing—it’s an experience that lingers in your heart long after you leave.
