What other neighbourhoods are similar to Higashiyama?
While Higashiyama is truly unique, for those seeking a similar blend of history, culture, and artisanal craft, the best areas to explore are Kanazawa's Nagamachi Samurai District and the Kazuemachi Chaya District.

The Nagamachi Samurai District offers a deep dive into Japan's feudal past. Located at the foot of Kanazawa Castle, this area features well-preserved samurai residences with their distinctive mud walls and private gardens.
