    Ishikawa Kaga-shi Daishoji
    Rows of cherry trees line a one-kilometer-long stretch of the Kumasaka River, a distributary of the Daishoji River. The sight of around200 trees in bloom, which usually occurs in early April, heralds the coming of spring to the Daishoji area. The trees were planted to commemorate repair work conducted along the river after a great fire in the early Showa period, and when they flower on either side, they create a tunnel of pale pink blossoms. During the flowering season, the Kumasakagawa Yozakura Night Market, one of the biggest events of the Daishoji area, is held – food and drink is sold and a variety of events are conducted. Paper lanterns provide illumination for the market, creating a gentle atmosphere amidst which visitors can take in the flowers.

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.
