#attraction/teahouse The [Higashi Chaya District](https://www4.city.kanazawa.lg.jp/soshikikarasagasu/bunkazaihogoka/gyomuannai/3/1/1/siteibunkazai/7/5808.html) is a teahouse/geiko district in [[Kanazawa (金沢市)]]. ![[? higashi chaya district IMG_5148.png]] > [!NOTE] Former Kamiya Main Building and Storehouse > Originally known as Kamiya, the Main Building was constructed in 1873. Since its layout and structure date back to the beginning of the Meiji period, the Former Kamiya is a historically valuable structure through which the traditional tea house architectural style from that era has been preserved. Those who wish to utilize the Former Kamiya as a store can renovate the interior while preserving unneeded materials and fittings at the Storehouse. These buildings are thus valued for their function of preservation as well as for their ability to be repurposed for modern uses. ![[higashi chaya district IMG_5151.png]]
