# Nagamachi Samurai District

Kanazawa, Japan

Below Kanazawa Castle, Nagamachi preserves the lanes where Maeda retainers once lived. Earthen walls, sometimes wrapped in winter straw mats, line narrow streets crossed by old canals, with the restored Nomura family residence opening a window onto samurai life.
