From the sheer cliffs and diversified rocks along the picturesque coastline seen from Wakasa Bay, Echizen-misaki Point, Tojinbo and Noto-hanto Peninsula, to the mountainous scenery including the World Cultural Heritage Shirakawa-go Village and Kurobe Gorge, the Hokuriku region offers some of the most spectacular scenery in Japan. The Samurai culture of the Edo Period (1603-1867) flourished in Kanazawa which became a "Little Kyoto". It is a home to artistic craft products that rival those of Kyoto for their beauty and refinement, and is also known for some of Japan's most famous Zen temples. Kanazawa also is home to one of the top 3 Japanese Gardens (Kenrokuen), along with several ceramic brands and this city boasts the highest production of Gold Flake leaves. Being on the Sea Of Japan Coast, seafood in this area, especially Crab is very popular with Japanese tourists, so when in Hokuriku area, please do as the Japanese do.

ADD TO BUCKET LISTThe trip was very well organized and a great introduction to Japanese culture as well as local living by getting exposure to modes of public transportation. We ere able to gain knowledge that gave us independence and a thorough appreciation of the subtleties of the culture. The guides were very helpful, although we didn't get to learn more of the language from them directly. We were VERY well fed and given hospitality everywhere we went, including the shops! Scott Kent planned everything out and organized everything in advance to make this a pretty smooth experience overall. Looking forward to coming back for more!... READ MORE
