Shopping Street Spots in Ishikawa Area

  • Seseragi-dori Shotengai
    Shopping
    Ishikawa Pref. Kanazawashi Nagamachi Korinbouri
    An alley which still retains many touches of ancient Kanazawa. The narrow road follows a canal built in the early Edo period once used to deliver water for local residents. Numerous small bridges cross the canal connecting establishments operating on the opposite side to the road, creating unique, picturesque scenery. The Seseragi-dori Shotengai shopping arcade along the road is host to trendy cafes, izakaya pubs, and boutique shops. On side streets visitors can find old samurai residences and get a taste of what ancient Kanazawa must have looked like.
  • Kanazawa Omotesando
    Shopping
    Ishikawa Pref. Kanazawashi Yasuechou
    A 330 meter long shopping arcade in the middle of a residential area in Kanazawa. The arcade is ancient and grew naturally as a bustling district around the Kanazawa Betsuin (Higashi Betsuin) temple. In 2006, the arcade was remodeled, preserving the area's old buildings while remaking the street into a bright and open shopping district. The arcade is home to long-standing tenants offering traditional Kaga harizaiku needlework, paulownia woodwork, and Japanese cuisine, as well as trendy newcomers proffering Seattle-style coffee and bagels, resulting in a neighborhood that is both old fashioned and new.

Long, thin Ishikawa prefecture runs along the Sea of Japan up into Noto Peninsula. Highlights of the seaside towns lining the west coast include Kanazawa, often described as a "Little Kyoto" thanks to its old wooden tea houses and geisha culture as well as its picturesque Japanese garden, Kenroku-en.
