Tourist Information of Ishikawa

Kanazawa's "Kenrokuen Garden" is one of Japan's three famous gardens and has won the highest three-star rating in the Michelin Green Guide Japan. The garden is decorated with beautiful scenery that can be enjoyed throughout the four seasons. The "21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa" is a museum with a concept of being like a park open to the city, and its swimming pool is a work of art that recreates a rare scene of looking like you are swimming in the pool when viewed from above, and looking out from the water when viewed from below. At "Hakuichi," where you can eat Japan's most luxurious soft serve ice cream, they offer Kanazawa's representative sweets, which are topped with whole gold leaf and are sure to be a hit on social media. It's highly recommended, even if you have to wait in line.

Wakura Onsen, with its famous hospitality at the Kaga-ya, is always ranked high as a desired travel destination and continues to captivate people. The area around Wakura Onsen, where rare "ocean hot springs" spring up, has many scenic spots where you can make hot spring eggs for free, soak in foot baths for free, and overlook Nanao Bay. With the opening of the Notojima Ohashi Bridge, tourist spots such as the "Notojima Aquarium," "Glass Art Museum," and golf courses have been built one after another, and it has evolved into a tourist destination that attracts one million visitors annually.

At Kaga's "San-namayu" hot springs, which Matsuo Basho praised as one of the three famous hot springs in Kuwana, you can enjoy one of Japan's oldest hot springs with gentle and smooth water that is effective in recovering from fatigue, cuts, and burns. The spring quality is calcium-sodium sulfate, and the famous "Koorogi Bridge" and artistic "Ayatori Bridge" in Tsurusen-kei Gorge are wonderful. The hot spring town "Yuge Kaido" is also full of charm and popular among foreign tourists who can feel the good old days of Japan. Hakusan, one of Japan's three famous mountains, has colorful alpine plants and primeval beech forests, and seven crater lakes at the summit are a unique feature. You can enjoy various views while trekking.

Wajima's representative scenic spot, "Shiroyone Senmaida," is characterized by its small area per rice paddy due to its steep and complex terrain, and has become Japan's first World Agricultural Heritage site. During the time when the rice paddies are filled with water, they become a water mirror that reflects the scenery of the sky, and the beauty of the sunrise and sunset views is breathtaking. The "Blue Cave," a must-visit tourist spot when visiting the one of Japan's three major power spots, "Kongosaki," creates a mysterious space by reflecting light from the Sea of Japan and illuminating the cave in blue, making it a truly worthy power spot of the name "Sanctuary Cape."
