Ishikawa Komatsu-shi Daimonjicho 69

A Japanese confectionary shop opened in 1852. The shop’s signature Tsukiyomi Yamaji is a yokan jelly with steamed chestnuts which has the faintest aroma of bamboo; this traditional confection is an exquisite fusion of delicious flavor, quality ingredients, beautiful form, attractive colors, and enticing scent. Also recommended is the Hime Kurumi, a sweet provided to Shirayama Hime Shrine, once the most important Shinto shrine of Kaga Domain; and the Joyo, the ultimate Japanese yam confection.

Akachi Falls

Travel / Tourism

Ishikawa Hakusan-shi

This waterfall is the second which can be seen along the Hakusan Shirakawa-go White Road from the Ishikawa Prefecture side. The waterfall’s name translates literally to “red stone,” a name it was given long ago when people were mining for gold in the area and discovered lumps of red rock clinging to the boulders. When the river’s water level is high, the fall’s stream splits into three rivulets resembling the strings of a shamisen, and thus it is also known as “Shamisen Falls.”

Ishikawa Hakusan-shi Chugu

From this popular parking area, visitors can enjoy the beautiful contrast created in fall by snow-capped Mt. Haku and the surrounding autumn foliage. Since the parking area is located close to the border between Ishikawa Prefecture and Gifu Prefecture, the Fukubedani Gardens Observatory is also a 25-minute walk away. Surrounded by natural forest, the parking area is also a rare place where one can occasionally glimpse the cycle of renewal and see where large trees have fallen and new vegetation is rushing to fill its place.

Ishikawa Hakusan-shi Kamashimizumachi Chi 2-1

This restaurant started as a tofu shop in 1948 and later operated as a general store and a restaurant before resurrecting ikki soba, a local soba noodle dish native to the Torigoe area, in 1981. Operating out of a traditional old Japanese home with a working water wheel, the restaurant serves the Chosuke Gozen meal, which is particularly recommended. The hearty and healthy meal comes with seasonal vegetable and edible wild plant tempura, kata-dofu hard tofu sashimi, a nimono stewed dish, a seasonal side, rice, Japanese pickles, and a small serving of soba noodles.

Delicious handmade soba using lots of local ingredients. The building is old and traditional and very peaceful. My favourite is the Ikko soba lunch set, which has mochi in the soba!
