武家屋敷 / Samurai House

加賀百万石の前田家に仕える侍達の武家屋敷。中でも野村家跡は、その庭がとあるガーデニングの雑誌で「日本で3番目に美しい庭園」に選ばれたほど。段差のある池が印象的なお庭で、とても美しい。狩野派の有名な画家が描いた見事な襖の絵や、2階の茶室など、趣きのあるお屋敷です。
今回の旅で、私、金沢が大好きになりました!

I visited one of the samurai house, the family of Nomura. Its garden was chosen as the third best garden in Japan by an English gardening magazine. It is a small but impressive garden with ponds with different hights. In the building, fusuma, sliding thick paper door drawn by famous artist from Kano school was amazing. There is a tea house upstairs where they offer maccha tea.
I really love Kanazawa!!!
