Kazue-machi Chaya District

Kazue-machi Chaya District, Kanazawa

The most intimate of Kanazawa's three geisha quarters, this early-19th-century tea-house district lines the south bank of the Asano River. Wooden facades, lantern light, and a narrow stone lane called Akari-zaka preserve the hush of the old entertainment world.
