What makes this place special?

At a Glance

Nomura Samurai House is a restored samurai residence in the Nagamachi district of Kanazawa. Earthen walls, narrow lanes and small canals keep the atmosphere of the quarter where middle-ranking samurai once lived. The Nomura family served the Maeda lords from 1583 until the domain was abolished in 1871.

The garden is the highlight, carefully landscaped and viewable from several rooms and from the veranda. The upper reception room, where the lord was received, has a coffered cypress ceiling and fine work in rosewood and ebony. Upstairs is a tea room in the sukiya style, and family swords and letters from the Maeda family and others are on display.
