Shigure-tei Teahouse
Shigure-tei Teahouse was built in 1676 by Maeda Tsunanori, the fifth Maeda lord, as a villa. After being rebuilt smaller by the sixth Maeda lord, Yoshinori, it was continually renovated until the beginning of the Meiji period. According to a floor plan from the feudal period, there were two connected rooms and a small tea-ceremony room. There were also four waiting rooms and a kitchen; 210 m2 of floor space. The present Shigure-tei Teahouse was restored according to the original floor plan, and is widely used as a place to relax while enjoying a tea ceremony or admiring the garden.
