武家屋敷跡野村家

11代にわたり加賀藩の重臣として主に奉行職を務めた名家、野村家の屋敷跡だ。 明治時代に入って、野村家の武家屋敷は門と土塀以外は失われてしまい、現在の建物はある豪商が建てた屋敷の一部が移築されたものとなっている。 ※ちなみに、野村家の禄高は1,200石で、現在価値に直すと約2,400万円。 加賀藩という大組織の中では執行役員か部長くらいのランクだったと思われる。   この武家屋敷跡野村家は、庭園が素晴らしいことで有名。 曲水、樹齢400年以上の古木、名石・奇岩、灯篭などがバランスよく美しく配置されている。 「ミシュラン・グリーンガイド・ジャポン」の格付けで2つ星に、米国の庭園専門誌「ジャーナル・オブ・ガーデニング」の日本庭園ランキングで3位に選ばれているほどだ。 豪華で格式高い建物と情緒あふれる庭園も見事に調和している。 なお、建物内部も中々見応えがある。 山水画をほどこした襖、総檜造りの格天井、ギヤマン入りの障子戸などは、文化財としての価値も高い。 また、資料室には武具(刀剣・甲冑や、古美術品、書状などが展示されている。 なお、2階の茶室「不莫庵」では、美しい庭を見ながら抹茶と干菓子のセットを楽しむことが出来て、素晴らしい。 人気スポットのため、ゆっくりと見たければ午前中の早い時間が空いていてお勧めだ。

旧加賀藩士高田家跡

江戸時代に加賀藩に仕えた中級武士、高田家の屋敷跡で、当時の武士の生活を垣間見ることが出来る施設だ。 中級武士以上が設置することができた長屋門や奉公人が暮らした仲間部屋、馬屋などがあるが、屋敷自体は残っていないのが残念。 池泉回遊式庭園は綺麗でなかなか良い感じだ。 なお、高田家の禄高は550石で、現在価値に直すと約1,100万円。 加賀藩という大組織の中では課長くらいのランクだったと思われる。 入場料金は無料、金沢市は太っ腹だ!
