Kami-tokikuni-ke

Kanazawa & the Hokuriku Coast


One of the few survivors of the Taira clan, Taira Tokitada was exiled to this region in 1185. His ancestors eventually divided and established separate family residences here, both now Important Cultural Properties – the other is Tokikuni-ke. Kami-tokikuni-ke has an impressive thatched roof and an elegant interior. It was completed in the early 19th century.
