Hokuriku is the Japan Sea side of central Honshu: Kanazawa, the Kaga onsen villages, Fukui’s cliffs and Toyama’s mountains. It is the craft heartland of Japan — gold leaf, Kutani porcelain, Yamanaka lacquer, Oshima silk.

The Hokuriku Shinkansen now runs from Tokyo to Kanazawa in about two and a half hours, which has changed the region without yet overrunning it.

What Hokuriku is good for

Kenrokuen garden and the Higashi Chaya teahouse district, the four Kaga onsen towns, the Noto peninsula’s coast, and the seafood — crab in winter above all.

Frequently asked questions

Is Kanazawa worth two nights?

Yes. One night covers the garden and the old districts; two lets you add the craft workshops and a day in the onsen villages.

Every route is built from scratch around your dates and your group — no fixed departure, no group to join. Send us your dates on WhatsApp and we will draft an itinerary, free of charge.
