Terashima Kurando House 寺島蔵人邸

Official explanation

The well-preserved historical home of Maeda-family retainer Terashima Kurando (1777–1837) provides a glimpse into how middle-ranking samurai families of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Kanazawa lived.

The home is tucked into a quiet backstreet and surrounded by earthen walls. In spring, azaleas bloom in the garden. In autumn, it is a picturesque setting for colorful foliage.
