Seisonkaku Tickets & Tours

The Seisonkaku is a large Japanese villa in the city of Kanazawa, built in 1863 by Maeda Nariyasu (1811–1884), 13th daimyō of the Kaga clan, as a retirement home for his mother Shinryu-in. A collection of her personal effects is open to the public. It is one of the few buildings in Japan to display the possessions of a daimyo family in their original surroundings. The main floor is built in the buke-shoin style, with a formal guest-chamber Ekken-no-ma, and a traditionally covered walkway that opens onto a beautiful small garden.
