Located in central Japan, Ishikawa Prefecture consists of the Noto Peninsula and the Kaga region, serving as a treasure trove of cultural heritage from the Edo period's "Kaga Hyakumangoku" era. Kanazawa City, which escaped war damage, retains its samurai districts and tea house quarters, where traditional crafts like gold leaf and Kaga Yuzen silk dyeing still thrive. Simultaneously, the region offers the "Satoyama and Satoumi" of Noto—a UNESCO Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System—and the majestic nature of Mt. Hakusan. With world-class seafood like Snow Crab, refined Wagashi sweets, and premium Sake, Ishikawa is a premier destination for history, nature, and gastronomy.
