What is Kanazawa Machiya?
During the Edo period, urban residences built in castle towns, port towns, and other townspeople's residential areas, where merchants and craftsmen lived, are called machiya.
Those built with traditional architectural styles, techniques, and materials that were transformed by the influence of Western civilization after the Meiji Restoration are called modern Japanese-style houses.
Kanazawa machiya were built before 1950, and are a generic term for historical buildings called machiya, samurai-style residences, and modern Japanese-style residences.

Shoin-zukuri
Shoin-zukuri is an essential part of the Japanese tradition of hospitality.
Shoin-zukuri refers to the style used in samurai residences centering on the shoin (living room that also serves as a study), as opposed to the shinden-zukuri style, which developed as the residence of Heian aristocrats.
The “Higashiyama Culture” that flourished in the middle of the Muromachi period (1333-1573) led to the spread of residences with shoin-style rooms as prestigious residences for entertaining guests, and this style developed throughout Japan as a residential style through the Edo period (1603-1868), creating such spaces as tokonoma (alcove) and tatami mats in the guest rooms.
Shoin-style architecture is an architectural style that has developed inextricably linked to hospitality through trial and error in how to entertain guests.
