Introduction to Ishikawa Prefecture
Take a trip in a rental car to experience the diversity of Japan
Ishikawa Prefecture, located right in the middle of Honshu, Japan, has well-diversified tourism assets, with its own historical culture and abundant nature. Although there are famous sightseeing spots gathered in the center of Kanazawa, the central city of Ishikawa, a rental car allows you to take a trip and find the untouched, original Japan, including rustic fishing and rural villages, historic shrines and temples, hot springs in the mountainous regions, and beautiful landscapes created by the rich nature.
Komatsu Airport is the best base for your rental car trip. From here you can easily reach Kanazawa, the Noto Peninsula that protrudes into the Sea of Japan, and the foot of Mt. Hakusan, known as one of Japan’s Three Holy Mountains. Let’s hit the road to explore the various sides of Japan!
NOTO
In the northeast of Komatsu Airport, around the projecting peninsula into the Sea of Japan, is the area called “Noto”. It is endowed with sea, mountains, and nature. It has a variety of resources for tourism such as food, sights to be seen, hot springs, historical temples and shrines.
KANAZAWA
“Kanazawa”, the capital and the central of Ishikawa prefecture, is located at about 30-kilometer distance from Komatsu Airport. It was flourished as a castle town at a time in the past and is still much in evidence in the traditional cultures as it was. As compact it is, the street space is “jam-packed” with Japanese fascinating atmosphere.
KAGA / HAKUSAN
Among “Noto”, “Kaga-Hakusan” area is expansive with varied fascinations and the best place to visit by rented cars which covers from the coast of the Sea of Japan even to the base of Mt. Hakusan, one of Japan’s three most famous sacred mountains, when you like to go around to come by sightseeing spots there.
