    Ishikawa Pref. Kanazawashi Hondamachi 3-4-20
    The D.T. Suzuki Museum in Kanazawa was opened as a place for people to learn about D.T. Suzuki, a renowned Buddhist scholar who was born in Kanazawa, and also as a place for self-reflection. The Museum consists of three halls (the Vestibule, Exhibition Space and Contemplative Space, which are linked by corridors) and three gardens (the Vestibule Garden, Water Mirror Garden, and Roji Garden). The scene of the Contemplative Space building reflected in the shallow pool of water in the Water Mirror Garden is highly photogenic, and has appeared in many different media.

    I absolutely adored this little out-of-the-way museum. I was fascinated by online photos for a long time and had always wanted to visit, but my time in Kanazawa was always too short for a visit...

    Ishikawa Pref. Kanazawashi Nagamachi 1-9-3
    A museum located in Nagamachi, Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture which displays materials related to the life and work of “ashigaru,” common foot soldiers who existed during the era of Japan’s feudal domains. The museum consists of two wood longhouses used as ashigaru barracks which were moved to this site. The hedge, trees and other plants, and distinctive roof with stones placed on top all replicate how the facility would have looked when used to house ashigaru. Inside, visitors will find exhibits presenting life goods and furnishings used at the time, providing a glimpse into the foods ashigaru ate, the side work they engaged in to occupy their time, and other aspects of their everyday life.

    I walked around the Nagamachi (samurai) district and found three other houses that were open to the public free of charge which I enjoyed much more than the Nomura Samurai house. One of them was the...

    Ishikawa Pref. Kanazawashi Hirosaka 2-2-5
    A cultural facility housed inside the former Fourth National High School established by the prefecture of Ishikawa to exhibit materials relating to the history of the school and to serve as a space for cultural activities. The red brick museum building, once the primary building of the Fourth National High School, was built in 1891 with a distinct architectural style. After the high school was closed, the building was used for a variety of purposes, including serving as Kanazawa University's Faculty of Science building, a local courthouse, and as a folk customs museum. Today, the facility is used as a museum which displays educational materials once used when it was a high school, and as the Modern Literature Museum, which contains exhibits on literary masters connected to Ishikawa Prefecture such as Kyoka Izumi and Muro Saisei.

    金沢市役所のすぐ近くのいしかわ四高記念公園内にあります。公園の名前がこちらに因んだのでしょうから当然ではありますが。夕方でやや遅かったので外観だけの見学になりましたが、往時のモダンさを感じさせる雰囲気のいい建物でした。

    Ishikawa Pref. Kanazawashi Nomachi 2-25-18
    A history museum located in No-machi, Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture situated on the former site of the Yoshiyonero tea house; the museum building recreates what the tea house once looked like in its heyday. The Yoshiyonero famously served as the setting of the Taisho period novel “Chijo” and an exhibit presenting materials related to its author, Seijiro Shimada, can be found on the first floor. The second floor is a tatami room with lovely rouge walls; the room is decorated with various articles appropriate to the tea house neighborhood in which the museum is situated, including gold leafed and lacquered ornaments, sensu folding fans, a shamisen, and taiko drum. Volunteer sightseeing guides who will provide a walking tour of the nearby area are also regularly stationed at the museum.

    金沢市の茶屋街のひとつであるにし茶屋街にあり、駅などからは少し距離があります。かつてのお茶屋の様子が再現された場所で、装飾品などを含めて見学することができて、入場料は不要なのでこちらに来たら見学するといい場所だと思います。

    Ishikawa Pref. Kanazawashi Katamachi 2-10-17
    A history museum dedicated to the Maeda Tosanokami family, a clan started by the samurai Maeda Toshimasa, son of Maeda Toshiie, the first lord of Kaga Domain. The family, of honorable origin and closely affiliated with the domain-ruling Maeda clan, is counted as one of the eight primary families which underpinned and supported the domain. Over the generations, members of the Maeda Tosanokami clan were awarded many important positions, and the family accumulated some 9,000 articles of tremendous historical value, a portion of which are on display in this museum. The museum's impressive exhibits include suits of armor and swords as well as texts detailing the history of famous military commanders from Japan's Warring States period.

    Even though the museum is pretty much all in Japanese, the artifacts are still interesting and they tried hard to provide translations to as much of the exhibit as they could. The staff were kind...

    Ishikawa Pref. Kanazawashi Owarichou 1-7-10
    Located near the Hashiba intersection on National Route 159 in Owari Town, Kanazawa City, the Kanazawa Literary Hall is a facility dedicated to interchange and the dissemination of information relating to the literary heritage of Kanazawa. The Itsuki Hiroyuki Library has on display an impressive collection of books, including the complete works of Itsuki Hiroyuki, an author closely associated with Kanazawa. The Literary Floor showcases books that were awarded the Izumi Kyoka Literary Prize or the Citizens’ Literary Prize; the Salon is an area where lovers of literature can gather.

    浅野川大橋の近くの橋場町交差点近くにあります。アンティークなビルでなかなか雰囲気のいい建物です。五木寛之文庫とも書かれており、かなり重点的に取り上げられいるので地元かと思ったらそうでもないようです。建物見学かねて見学するといいと思います。

    Ishikawa Kanazawa-shi Owaricho 1-11-8
    This cultural hall is an Ishikawa Prefectural Registered Tangible Cultural Property. The facility uses a bank building dating from 1907. The exterior is finished with black stucco, while the interior uses white stucco in a beautiful mixed western and Japanese style, and the gallery holds exhibitions with a different main theme set every two months.

    近江町市場からひがし茶屋街方面に歩いて行くと道沿いにありました。平日は開いてないそうで外観だけの見学となりました。かつては銀行だったそうで、個人的な印象の銀行建築とは違いましたが、味わいはあっていい雰囲気の建物でした。

    幹線道路から案内板に従って近くまではたどり着ましたが、玄関がわからず苦労しました。資料館の近くに看板があれば、助かります。観覧無料の施設ですが、受付らしきものはありますが人はいませんでした。近隣の小学生向けの教育施設のようですが、一般県民の認知度も低く、入場者も多くないようです。

Ishikawa Areas

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.
