- Ishikawa Kaga-shi Yamanaka Onsen Higashimachi Basho Do
- A Buddhist hall standing at the foot of the Kurotani Bridge leading to the Kakusen-kei Valley, the most beautiful valley in the Hokuriku region. The small hall, backed by thick, lush forest, is dedicated to the late master poet Matsuo Basho. Basho visited Yamanaka Onsen here while on his journey through the northern provinces, depicted in his “Narrow Road to the Interior.” It is said that upon seeing the beautiful scenery facing the Daishoji River from here, Basho clapped his hands in delight and exclaimed, “Here is the joy of the journey!” The historic hall was erected in 1910, celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2010 along with the walking trails of the Kakusen-kei Valley. The hall enshrines a small statue of Basho.
Ishikawa Areas
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.
