    Ishikawa Kanazawa-shi Nagamachi 2-6-16
    This Kaga Yuzen dyeing studio is operated by Chibeni, a dyer established some 200 years ago during the early Edo period. Here visitors can see a variety of Kaga Yuzen kimono and other craft articles made by Ikko Teranishi, the seventh head of a Kaga Yuzen dyeing family; in addition, visitors can also try actual Yuzen dyeing themselves. The facility also has a shop where you can purchase original and exclusive Yuzen-dyed items.

    The exhibits may seem faded and old, but they show an age old tradition and beauty that is the very essence of Japan. The silks are beautiful.

    Ishikawa Hakusan-shi Yahatamachi Ri 1-6
    This studio focuses on using wood from the Shishiku area. The facility is broadly divided into two areas - a wood studio and a food studio. The wood studio operates as a wood crafts store owned by a lumber dealer which has been in business for over a century. The studio sells a wide variety of items and also regularly holds woodworking workshops. The food studio operates as a pizzeria and bakes pizzas using a big brick firewood oven. The food studio also offers a large selection of other dishes, including pastas and desserts.

    This is one of my favourite restaurants in the area. The food is always good with very kind service. The building is completely made from wood, and is really romantic.

    Ishikawa Pref. Nanaoshi Notojimakoudamachi 122-53
    A glass studio that's a part of the Roadside Station Notojima in Koda-machi, Notojima, Nanao City. They produce glass works including their own original heat resistant Tainetsu Yohen Glass, which has a texture similar to porcelain. In the attached shop they have glass products from various creators and they also offer glass workshops including glass blowing and sand blasting.

    風鈴作りを体験しました。 予約は不要で、ほぼ待つこともなし。 手袋やエプロンは貸してもらえるので、服装を気にすることもありません。 形や色など決めると職人さんが熱したガラスの塊を持ってきてくれて、アドバイス通りに息を吹き込みます。 10分程で形が出来ました。 冷ます必要があるので、当日持ち帰りはできませんが有料で宅配してくれます。

    柔らかくて傷がつきやすいけど驚くほど軽くて木目が美しい無臭の杉。杉に蒔絵を施した可愛さ絶品のちょこっとトレーが気に入りました。町家の古い日本家屋に絶妙なセンスの工芸品が並んでいます。レトロな音響から流れているのはぶらんぶらんの音楽！先端なのか伝統なのか。こちらの工芸品はセレクトショップにもよく置いてありますが選択肢が豊富なのでお店への訪問をお勧めします。店内は小さくてもステキな品が沢山あってとても...

    Ishikawa Kanazawa-shi Utatsumachi To 10

    2019年1月訪問しました。 近くまで車で行き、卯辰山を散策しながら向かいました。途中に炉があり(大きかった！)、少し進むと工房が見えてきます。が、改修工事をしており中の展示を見ることはできませんでした。 ガラス越しに見た感じだと、美術館のように、ガラスケースの中に展示があるようです。直接見られず残念。 ですが、炉は見ることができたのと、周辺の景観が素晴らしく、散策にはいい場所でした。

    Ishikawa Pref. Kagashi Yamanakaonsensakaemachi Two 60
    A wooden crafts studio located in the Yamanaka Onsen hot spring village area. The studio is operated by an artisan who uses a lathe and chisels to create works out of unpainted wood. The studio offers short classes on making your own wood craft, and you can choose to make a bowl, small basket, or sculpture. After the bowls have been carved out, they are sent to a lacquer artisan to be lacquered and are then delivered to your home. The studio's shop sells beautiful bowls, chopsticks, and other warm and charming wood items.

Ishikawa Areas

around-area-map

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.
