Many samurai (Japanese warriors) used to live in this area, where remnants of that era, like several mansions, a canal and private gates, still remain.
Step back in time in this picturesque neighborhood. The best of old Japan has been restored and preserved here.

This temple district is most well-known for its "Ninja Temple," nicknamed ninja (Japanese spies) because of its hidden tunnels, secret rooms, maze of halls and stairways and other techniques to catch intruders.
There are temples every few steps and if this is your thing, you got to come here. Don’t miss the ninja temple.

Kanazawa is one of few cities spared by bombing in WWII and the buildings are originals going back into the Edo Period; this is one of the neighborhoods that shows that history. It is must see when in the city.
