Nomura House

Getting around: Within the Nagamachi samurai district, about a 15-20 minute walk from Kanazawa Station, or a short bus ride to Korinbo followed by a walk.
Hours: Typically 8:30am-5:30pm (shorter in winter), open daily; paid admission.

Nomura House is a restored samurai residence in the Nagamachi district, once home to a retainer family of the Maeda clan and rebuilt after the original was dismantled in the Meiji era. It's furnished with period antiques, armor, and art, and centers on a small but well-regarded landscaped garden viewable from the tatami rooms.

It gives one of the more accessible looks at samurai domestic life in Kanazawa, since it's a genuine period interior rather than a reconstruction viewed only from outside.
