Seseragi Street Shopping District

This shopping district is located in central Kanazawa. Seseragi Street follows the Kuratsuki Canal behind Korinbo, one of Kanazawa’s major shopping and entertainment districts, and retains a road laid out during the Edo period. A variety of stores line both sides of the winding street for about 1,640 feet, offering visitors the chance to shop while listening to the flowing water.

The shopping district is home to more than 60 businesses. Dining options include Japanese, French, Italian, and other Asian cuisines, served at restaurants, cafés, bars, and more. Shops selling fashion, sundries, and interior goods are equally distinctive. Long-established and newer businesses stand side by side, creating an atmosphere all their own.

Fed by the Sai River, the Kuratsuki Canal has long been an essential part of daily life in Kanazawa, including in the nearby Nagamachi Samurai District. The many small bridges crossing the stone-lined canal to the stores create a charming scene. Stroll through the area together with Korinbo and the Nagamachi Samurai District to fully experience the historic character of Kanazawa.
