    When visiting Kanazawa’s Higashi Chaya District, besides admiring the old wooden streets full of Edo-period charm, I also recommend visiting the distinctive multipurpose shop Kureha. It combines Kaga Yuzen kimono rentals, a gallery, and a Japanese-style café, allowing travelers to experience Kanazawa’s traditional culture all in one place. This time I specifically chose a Kaga Yuzen kimono. The fabric had a crisp texture, the patterns were delicate and elegant, and the use of color was especially distinctive. Wearing it added a sense of classical elegance to my whole appearance. Dressed in a beautiful kimono, I strolled along the stone-paved streets and between the old teahouses. Every casual photo looked like a postcard, and each one was worth treasuring.
