Google Maps reviews of this place
Reviews posted by visitors on Google Maps.
Una visita imprescindible al ser un barrio histórico muy fotogénico y con las antiguos inmuebles convertidos en todo tipo de tiendas de recuerdos, delicatessen y helados de pan de oro. Si se quieren buenas fotos, eviten horas punta. Hay locales en los que todavía se pueden reservar sitios para contemplar espectáculos de gueishas, que al ser semiprivados baratos son son.
Barrí típico donde poder visitar tiendas de souvenirs hechos a mano, degustar dulces típicos y ver geishas. Estas salen a unos horarios muy específicos por lo que no os aconsejo or después de las 18h por que cierran todo. Si quieres cenar o vomer en este distrito mejor reservar si quieres un restaurante fuera lo normal.
Es un lugar turístico para visitar si una va a Kanazawa. Parecido al distrito de las geishas en Tokio, éste es mucho menos concurrido lo que hace que uno pueda sacar buenas fotos. Todo cierra relativamente temprano, aconsejo hacer reservas si uno quiere comer algo a la tarde noche.
