Strolling around Samurai District in Kanazawa

Locating in Kanazawa city, Nagamachi is an old samurai district where you can go back time to the Edo Period. There are narrow streets, mud walls, samurai residence, and the oldest canal in Kanazawa flows through the area. This is the place where people love to dress up in Kimono and stroll around to take photos.

Nagamachi 長町
Locating at the foot of Kanazawa Castle, Nagamachi was the residential area of medium to high ranking samurai and their families during the Edo Period.
長町位於金澤城的附近,是江戶時代武家和家眷的聚居地。

The Onosho Canal, the oldest of the 50 canals of Kanazawa, flows through Nagamachi. It served as an important waterway to transport goods from the port to the castle town, water source for irrigation and protection from fire, as well as a drainage for the melted ice in the winter.
城下町有金澤最古老的大野庄用水流經,這條小小的水道功用甚大,過去是從港口到城下運送物資的水路交通要道,亦是防火、灌溉及融雪的主要水道。

Another unique characteristics of the area is the mud wall and shingle roofs which retains an ancient look of a neat castle town.
長町路上的一大特色是黃色的土牆和木瓦屋頂,窄窄迂迴的街道充滿古樸味道。

From December to mid March every year, these vulnerable mud walls are covered with straw mats to protect them from snow.
這些歷史土牆在每年12月至3月都會披上乾稻草,以防附著在土牆上的雪在融雪時連同牆壁表層一起剝落。

One of the open samurai houses in the area is Nomura-ke. The residence of Nomura Denbei Nobusada who was one of the important samurai following the first Kaga domain lord to settle in Kanazawa.
長町一帶都是當時中上階級武士的居住地,現今保存並開放的其中一間是加賀藩第一代藩主的重臣野村的家,野村跟隨前田利家進駐金澤城的重要武士之一。

野村家是代代都是加賀的高級武士,他的居所當然氣派非凡,有前田家御用繪師出品的襖繪扇門、檜木造的格子狀天花板,和漂亮的庭園。

The wooden ceiling and the exquisite carving of the windows are important design features of Japanese houses.
日本傳統建築的精髓在於屋頂天花的設計和用料,而房間之間的木雕窗戶都可以看得出當時的手工匠心獨運。

The highlight of the house is the Michelin two-star garden, featuring the Kyoku-sui style water with koi swimming around, a 400-year-old myrtle tree, and stone lanterns. The best way to enjoy the view is to sit on the open veranda where the pond is right beneath.
武家屋敷遺跡的大景點是其優雅的日式庭園,曲水型設計,庭園內有名石奇岩、流水錦鯉、超過400年樹齡的楊桃樹,是米芝蓮二星級日式庭園喔!在木陽台上靜坐賞景非常舒適。
