This is the old geisha district. A chaya was a type of restaurant where customers were entertained by geisha. During the Edo period, chaya were located in designated entertainment districts. Kanazawa has three of them (but this is the largest and most interesting). This walk is a must for any visit to Kanazawa. You will stroll from shop to shop, enjoy old chaya still open to the public (Shima and Kaikaro) and feel the atmosphere of the old days most exhilarating.
