Shin-Tatemachi is a small, cobblestone shopping street directly extending from the end of Tatemachi Street. Visitors can find a variety of shops open any time of the year, including Nordic furniture, kitsch, leather and antique stores, as well as several small cafes and a popular bar.

Shin-Tatemachi runs between Tatemachi Street and the Sakura-bashi Bridge that leads directly into Kanazawa’s largest temple district, Teramachi, home of the Ninja Temple.

The Shin-Tate Great Coffee Campaign often happens in a late-May Sunday every year. However, for 2022, the event opens with the opening of the borders to tourists in October!
The entrance to Shin-Tatemachi is 350 meters from Kaname Inn Tatemachi.
