Hello. This is 〈Nikotabi SmileTravel〉. This time, we will introduce 10 recommended sightseeing spots in Ishikawa. Ishikawa Prefecture is located on the Sea of Japan and is a region rich in nature, history, and culture. It was known as the Kaga Domain during the Edo period, and is where the culture of “Kaga Hyakumangoku” was cultivated. Please enjoy your trip to Ishikawa. Kanazawa Castle Park Kanazawa Castle was built by Maeda Toshiie in 1583, after which full-scale construction began. Originally, there were residences for senior vassals within the castle, but with the expansion of Ninomaru, samurai residences were moved outside the castle. Most of the castle was destroyed in a fire in 1759, and the main tower turret has not been rebuilt since then. Kanazawa Castle is characterized by a group of stone walls with a sense of design, and it is said that the walls were stacked in different ways depending on the location. Nowadays, it is loved as a park, and during the cherry blossom season, it is a heart-warming bustle. Kenrokuen Kenrokuen is a garden that is famous as one of Japan’s top three gardens and is a tourist destination that represents Ishikawa Prefecture. Its name comes from the fact that it has six landscapes: “Kodai”, “Yurun”, “Human Power”, “Blue Ancient”, “Water Spring”, and “View”. It was maintained by the Kaga feudal lord during the Edo period and has maintained its beauty to this day. The sight of snow hanging in winter is especially famous nationwide, and this technique of stretching pillars and ropes to protect the branches from the weight of snow highlights the beauty of the garden and gives a sense of the high level of skill of Kaga’s craftsmen. “Kiji Toro” and “Kasumigaike” are symbolic places of Kenrokuen, where you can see the quaint Japanese scenery. Nagamachi Samurai Residence Ruins Nagamachi Samurai Residence Ruins is an area where you can experience the life of samurai during the Edo period. Cobblestone streets and earthen walls remain in this area, giving it a historical feel. The Ashigaru Museum has a wealth of exhibits where you can learn about the life and culture of the samurai, and the inside of the residence is open to the public free of charge. In winter, the snow-covered earthen walls and gardens create a magical landscape, and you can see the same beautiful scenery as it was hundreds of years ago. Along the irrigation canal that runs from this area to the downtown area, there are many Japanese restaurants and local restaurants, which are crowded with people. 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa is a unique museum where you can enjoy contemporary art. It was established with the aim of “creating a new culture” and “creating a new vibrancy in the town.” The famous work “Swimming Pool” is an experiential art piece that allows you to experience the sensation of stepping inside a pool, and it attracts many tourists. The museum’s exterior is circular and its futuristic design catches the eye. There are many areas within the museum that can be enjoyed for free, making the museum function as a “town square”. There are also cafes and art shops around the museum, making it a great place to spend some time after enjoying the art. Wakura Onsen Located in Nanao City, Wakura Onsen is a representative hot spring resort in Ishikawa Prefecture, with a history of over 1200 years. This hot spring area, known as the “hot spring of the sea,” is characterized by its salty water quality, which can be expected to have bactericidal and moisturizing effects. It gained a reputation as a hot spring healing place because Toshinaga Maeda, the lord of the Kaga domain, healed his wounds there. At Wakura Onsen, you can spend a luxurious time soaking in the hot springs while admiring the ocean view that stretches out in front of you. Local accommodations serve fresh seafood dishes, and winter crab dishes are to die for. The hot spring town also has many souvenir shops and places where you can enjoy local gourmet food, as well as footbath spots. Hakusan faith has been rooted in Natadera Kaga since ancient times, and the god of nature has been worshiped. Natadera Temple, located in the middle of nature, takes on a nostalgic feeling while showing its different appearance throughout the four seasons. Spring flowers, summer green, autumn leaves, and winter’s silver world have been close to the hearts of Japanese people since ancient times. In addition, the cave at Natadera Temple is believed to be a path that connects the next world with this one, and is said to have the blessing of marriage between people. In a quiet world rich in nature, you can experience the teachings of Shintoism and Buddhism and relax your mind. Kakusenkei Kakusenkei is a valley of the Daishoji River that flows along the hot spring town in the mountains, and is about 1.3 km from Korogi Bridge to Kurotani Bridge. Another way to enjoy the area is to visit the innovative S-shaped cradle hash and the cricket bridge made entirely of cypress. The fresh greenery in spring and the changing leaves in autumn are a special sight, and you can spend a quaint moment on the riverbed. There are many attractions in the surrounding area, such as Basho-do Hall, which enshrines Matsuo Basho, and Mugen-an, which exhibits works by Korin Ogata. It is one of the most scenic spots in Hokuriku, and is so beautiful that even Basho wrote about it, where you can enjoy the beauty of the valley full of nature. Chirihama Nagisa Driveway Chirihama Nagisa Driveway is known as the only place in Japan where you can drive on a sandy beach. This driveway is approximately 8km long and offers the exhilarating experience of driving along the water’s edge. Not only cars, but also buses, motorcycles, horses, and people can run on it.
