Nomura Family Samurai House

Nomura Family Samurai House

武家屋敷跡 野村家

Ishikawa · Chubu

The one samurai residence in Kanazawa's Nagamachi quarter that visitors can go inside, restored with painted sliding screens, a cypress-panelled reception room and armour and letters belonging to the Nomura family, who served the Maeda lords for eleven generations. Its miniature garden fills the whole rear of the house, with a stream running under the veranda.

Why we picked it

Thousands walk the earthen-walled lanes of Nagamachi and photograph them from outside; comparatively few pay the small fee to go in and see how the rooms actually worked.
