Higashi Chaya District Review

Kanazawa East Tea House Street (ひがし Tea House Street) in Hokkaido, Japan, take the North Railway bus and get off at Hashiba Station; the tea house is the place where the Edo-era Japanese geisha performances are performed. It retains the taste of the Edo period. It feels very good to take pictures. It is a popular attraction in Kanazawa!

Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan is an ancient city, and its East and West Chaya Streets are representative areas of the old city of Kanazawa. Tea House Street is an old wooden house on both sides. Now it has become Kanazawa's most famous view and purchase attractions.

Dongchawu Street can be slowly strolled past Kanazawa Station, less than half an hour walk away, the whole street is mainly Edo-era buildings, many craft shops and teahouses, the most distinctive is Jinzhe products and Jinzhe ice cream.

Kanazawa must go to scenic spots. Teahouse Street in Edo era is more beautiful and charming than that in Kyoto. It retains more of the flavor of that time. There are many old shops here, you can find a tea house here for a cup of tea, such as a laugh, find a gold foil shop, buy some gold foil products, especially not to miss the gold foil ice cream. There are fruit and wine shops, etc., here for half a day, are not enough.

When the art gallery comes out, we kill directly to East Teahouse Street at dawn. There is a little Kyoto called here. The streets and houses here are similar to Kyoto. There is an illusion of walking on the corner of Kyoto. Kanazawa is most famous for its gold foil. Gold foil has been added to many articles. Such as food, utensils, facial mask, skin care products, crafts and so on! East Teahouse Street is famous for selling gold foil products besides resembling Kyoto. The price is not cheap, but the variety is complete, tired to find a shop to sit down and eat famous ice cream, think about happiness! However, we arrived at less than six o'clock, but the shops were basically closed, even visitors rarely encountered, coupled with the inappropriate rain, it is impossible to say not depressed! From the Art Museum to East Teahouse Street, and from East Teahouse Street back to the hotel, we all choose the city bus! But! Coming to Japan three times on the bus, we can't understand Kanazawa's bus stop sign, and because of traffic control, the bus stop has been changed!

Jinze has three main tea house streets which are called West Teahouse Street, East Teahouse Street and Chief Accountant Street. East Teahouse Street is the largest. It is the preservation area of important traditional buildings in Japan. Because we arrived too early, the shop basically did not open, the street is very quiet, it is with this quiet, in order to idly experience the old Edo style of Teahouse Street. The wooden houses on both sides of the slate road are in rows, which are Japanese shops with strong ancient charm. After redecorating, it has now become a catering shop, tea shop or local product shop, which can buy all kinds of goods of Jinze famous gold foil. Ice cream sprinkled with gold foil is also sold in the forked streets.

The shops on both sides of East Teahouse Street are mostly coffee shops, tea houses, fruit shops and shops selling gold foil and handicraft products. Most gold foil shops, gold foil ice cream, gold foil mask, gold foil tableware, gold foil handbags... Anyway, think of unexpected products can be made of gold foil, a circle of eyes can see blindness, but unfortunately not every family allowed to take pictures. You can't miss a shop called Foil Block. It has a gold foil wall. It's golden in the sunshine. There are also several shops with experience workshops. Tourists can use DIY to create their own gold foil crafts. This trip to Japan made me deeply in love with the handicraft here, there is an impulse to stay here and learn to be a professional craftsman. Next time you come back, you must arrange to stay in North China for a few more days and experience all kinds of crafts.
