Museum Telling the History of Dolls
Japan is one of the biggest doll’s possession country that the world has ever seen. In Japan, people have used various crafting methods in order to create dolls. We established Doll’s Museum in Nishi Chaya district, Kanazawa city, Ishikawa prefecture so that you can enjoy traditional Japanese dolls which have been loved by Japanese people for long time.
Museum cafe
You will be surrounded by the traditional teahouse architecture with beautiful lattices, having once-in-a-lifetime chance to see traditional Japanese dolls. We have counter seats where you can enjoy having a conversation with our staff about Kanazawa city. Also, you can taste trending cascara tea or coffee imported directly from the producing farm. We also have a nice room where cute Matryoshka dolls will welcome you. Takeout is also available.
Nishi Chaya district
Higashi Chaya district and Nishi Chaya district were completed and given official approval by the domain of Kaga in 1820. Chaya is a place for social gathering and to play with Geisya and Geiko. Then, Kazue town came to be regarded as third Chaya district. These three Chaya districts have been contributed to Kanazawa city’s development. Nishi Chaya district, where Dolls Museum is located, is smallest one in three. However, community of Nishi Chaya district has been keeping its own beauty and history. So, you can enjoy tasteful townscape and amazing architecture of tea houses. We hope that you are also pleased by Japanese dolls in this attractive district.
