    "A museum which contains exhibits on ""kitamaebune,"" shipping vessels which plied the waters of the Sea of Japan from the mid-Edo period to the mid-Meiji period. The museum is housed in an estate which was built by a kitamaebune ship owner in 1876. The structure was built with the highest quality materials and its lacquered pillars and ceilings are still lustrous today. The museum's many exhibits include ema votive tablets decorated with ships used to pray for safe voyages, model ships given by ship builders to ship owners, sailing instruments, furniture used on the ships, and more. The 2,000 lacecap hydrangeas which grow in the inner courtyard come into stunning bloom from mid-June to early July."

    北前船の栄光が分かりました。資料の中には明治期の長者番付が有って前頭に位置する方もいたようです。ただ仕事は命がけでしたけどね。

    Ishikawa Kaga-shi Yamanaka Onsen Honmachi 2- Ni 86-1

    芭蕉にゆかりの山中温泉にあるが、芭蕉の滞在した泉屋は現存せず、ここはただの記念館。ただし、かつての旅館を改装したもので、元の客室や庭園は一見の価値がある。

    鳥類に一ミリも興味が無かったのですが、レンジャーの方の親切で丁寧なご説明で時間があっという間に経ちました。それほど多くの鳥はいませんでしたが、静かな湖面を望遠レンズで眺めるだけでも心落ち着く場所です。行って良かったです。

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.
