Kanazawa did not suffer from the damage caused by WW2. In fact, there still remain many old-fashioned buildings. In the Kaga domain, all samurai were given houses, and Nagamachi was also one of the samurai’s residential areas, and in the Edo period, this area, which was the residential area for intermediate-level samurai, was located in the center of Kanazawa. The townscape has a very quiet atmosphere. Each samurai residence has a magnificent gate, but inside is a place for Kanazawa citizens to live their daily lives. The earthen walls are made solid by mixing gravel and compacting it. The lower part is a stone wall as a foundation, and the upper part has a board roof to protect the earthen wall from rain.
