What other travelers are saying about Seisonkaku Villa
Not worth 1000 yen for a ticket! Yes, there are drawings on wooden panels at the bottom, covered with glass, and opposite some there are display cases. And so almost nothing can be seen (the glass reflects, the drawings are old), and then you have to climb under the display case. The only thing that impressed me was the carving in the main hall, it is also depicted on the advertising poster. The blue room also did not impress me much. It says where the paint is from and what? Is it from the time of decoration, or has it already been repainted? They could have created scenes from the same dolls, so that it would be clearer who is where, what is doing. For comparison - a museum in an old pharmacy building on "samurai street" is 100 yen. It is filled with even more exhibits than here. I understand why they do not allow taking photos - most will see that there is nothing to see for that amount and will not go.
The most gorgeous traditional Japanese house with fancy decorations and goods resided by Maeda family. It has a lot of different architectural styles and materials which makes the house unique. Photos are only allowed in the gardens.
Admission is 700 yen, a bit expensive for the size and exhibition if you don’t really know the history, but worth visiting when you come to Kanazawa for the first time.
Seeing the inside of this historical villa with its own beautiful private garden was great. However admittedly a little confused at the admission price as it was underwhelming, especially compared to the Kanazawa Castle and Kenroku-en and their respective admission fees. No photos allowed except for the garden areas.
Don’t miss this house when touring Kenroken! Very cool historical residence with large collection of traditional Hina dolls. Worth the extra admission fee. Despite going on a weekend, the house was not overly crowded.
Not worth the 1000 ticket at all. Nothing unique to see. No photographing (except for shooting the graden, which also very commonplace) allowed. I won’t recommend it even if it costs 200 yen.
