NAGA-MACHI BUKE YASHIKI DISTRICT KANAZAWA
Naga-machi Buke Yashiki District is a Samurai house district in Kanazawa where the top to middle class Samurai who served Kanazawa Castle lived from 1583 to 1868. Here you can still see the alleys and the mud walls of the old days. The mud walls were made with stones and mud put into a mold and hardened. The roof is covered with thin wooden plates. The Onosho Canal, which flows along the alley, is the oldest canal of Kanazawa, which was an important waterway that carried goods from the harbor to the castle town.
