Bus
If you are starting from Kanazawa Station, take the Kanazawa Loop Bus (also known as the 'Kanazawa City Bus'). Board the bus at the station and get off at the 'Higashiyama' stop. From there, walk east along the main road for about 5 minutes until you reach 1 Chome-13-21 Higashiyama, where Geisha House Shima is located.
Walking
If you are near Kenrokuen Garden, head south towards the Kanazawa Castle Park. From the park, exit towards the main street (Yayoi Street), and turn left. Continue walking straight for about 15 minutes, passing several shops and traditional buildings. You will eventually arrive at 1 Chome-13-21 Higashiyama, where Geisha House Shima is located.
Taxi
If you're at a location in Kanazawa and prefer a more direct route, you can hail a taxi. Simply tell the driver 'Higashiyama no Shima' or show them the address: 1 Chome-13-21 Higashiyama. The taxi will take you directly to the Geisha House Shima.
