Registered Tangible Cultural Properties of Ishikawa

Discover the Harunari Sake Brewery Main House in Nanao, Ishikawa Prefecture — a 1934 segai-style machiya registered as a national tangible cultural property, embodying the Noto Peninsula's sake-brewing tradition and merchant architecture.

Built in 1931, Hikoso Machiya is a modern Japanese-style residence registered as a National Tangible Cultural Property in 2018. Featuring the distinctive Azumadachi gable design of the Hokuriku region, it now serves as the headquarters of the NPO Kanazawa Machiya Research Society, dedicated to preserving Kanazawa's historic townhouse culture.

Located in the Kikugawa neighborhood of Kanazawa, the Hiraki Family Residence Main House is a late Edo-period samurai dwelling built in the former ashigaru (foot soldier) district of the Kaga Domain's castle town. This two-story wooden structure of approximately 102 square meters features a southern garden, western street frontage, and an eastern irrigation canal, preserving the distinctive layout of Kanazawa's warrior-class housing. Registered as a national Tangible Cultural Property in 2004, it stands as a rare surviving example of how Japan's wealthiest feudal domain housed even its lowest-ranking samurai in detached homes with gardens.

Hirakiya Hataten is a historic dyeing workshop in Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture, founded during the Hōreki era (1751–1763). The late Edo-period machiya townhouse is registered as a national Registered Tangible Cultural Property and Kanazawa City Designated Cultural Property. Once an official purveyor to the Kaga Domain, the shop continues its 250-year tradition of hand-dyeing flags, noren curtains, and banners, while its architecture — featuring a long earthen corridor and a second-floor tea room — exemplifies classic Kanazawa merchant-house design.
