What is Ishikawa?
Long, thin Ishikawa prefecture runs along the Sea of Japan up into Noto Peninsula. Highlights of the seaside towns lining the west coast include Kanazawa, often described as a "Little Kyoto" thanks to its old wooden tea houses and geisha culture as well as its picturesque Japanese garden, Kenroku-en.

Getting Around
The Hokuriku Shinkansen terminates in Kanazawa, just 2.5 hours from Tokyo. Ishikawa prefecture's two airports provide access to both the center of the prefecture via Komatsu Airport as well as the rural Noto Peninsula via the northerly Noto Satoyama Airport, just a 35-minute bus ride from Wajima and a one-hour bus ride from Noto city.
