Itinerary attractions introduction

This journey will take you deep into Japan's Hokuriku region to explore history, culture, fairytale villages and magnificent coastline!

『Kanazawa Tokyu Hotel』
Modern design blends with Japanese tradition, feel the Japanese elegance and modern comfort of Hokuriku, and enjoy the beauty of Kanazawa's history and culture!

『Takayama Jinya』
It is the only existing office of the Edo-era shogunate government in Japan. You can visit the officials' offices, courtrooms, and treasury of that time and experience the daily life of ancient samurai and rulers.

『Shirakawa-go Gassho Village』
Gassho refers to the unique thatched roof architecture with sloping roofs that resemble clasped hands. This UNESCO World Heritage site is one of Japan's most representative traditional rural landscapes.

『Kanazawa Castle』
The castle of the Maeda family of Kaga Domain during the Warring States Period had walls made of pure white lead tiles, which was very spectacular!

Kenrokuen Garden
One of the three most famous gardens in Japan, it is famous for its "four seasons of picturesque scenery", with cherry blossoms in spring, red leaves in autumn, and the snow-capped pine trees in winter.

『 East Tea House Street 』
Higashi Chaya Street is a historical district that has been preserved since the Edo period. It is famous for its traditional teahouses and antique wooden buildings. There are many specialty dessert shops, cafes, handicraft shops and souvenir shops. Visitors can stroll on the cobblestone road and feel the unique Japanese charm of Kanazawa. They can also enter the teahouse to experience Japanese traditional culture such as matcha and wagashi.

『Omicho Market』
Omi-cho Market is the most famous seafood market in Kanazawa. It is known as the "Kitchen of Kanazawa" and has a history of more than 300 years. There are about 170 shops in the market, mainly selling fresh seafood, sushi, local fruits and vegetables, and various Kanazawa specialties. Visitors can taste freshly made seafood rice bowls (seafood donburi), crabs, oysters, etc. in the market, or buy specialties such as Kanazawa's local sake and dried goods to take home. The market is the busiest every morning, so it is recommended to go there in the morning to experience the most authentic Kanazawa food culture.

『Toshinbo』
Located in Fukui Prefecture, Japan, Tojinbo is a stunning coastal wonder. It has a 1-kilometer-long cliff made of special andesite columnar joints, like a masterpiece of nature. The huge waves hit the rocks, stirring up layers of white waves, which form a sharp contrast with the blue Sea of Japan, which is awe-inspiring.
The huge basalt cliffs of Tojinbo were formed by a volcanic eruption 7 million years ago. There are only a few places in the world that have such a spectacle. Standing on the cliff, you can overlook the surging Sea of Japan, and the sight of the waves hitting the rock wall is shocking!
