I have been there in last autumn; it was impeccable time to visit this amazing village surrounded by mountains and divided by a river. It felt amazing just to gaze upon the scenery.

Many samurai (Japanese warriors) used to live in this area, where remnants of that era, like several mansions, a canal and private gates, still remain.

Step back in time in this picturesque neighborhood. The best of old Japan has been restored and preserved here.

There are temples every few steps and if this is your thing, you got to come here. Don’t miss the ninja temple.

Reviewed By bestnerikomi - Tokoname, Japan

Because tokoname is too near the airport, it does not receive as many visitors as it should. If you arrive by train, go to the visitors bureau in the corridor straight in front of the Meitetsu exit for the train. It is a few shops down on the left side. They are helpful and have maps

Reviewed By WarnerL_12 - Pasadena, United States

Kanazawa is one of few cities spared by bombing in WWII and the buildings are originals going back into the Edo Period; this is one of the neighborhoods that shows that history. It is must see when in the city.
