Ishikawa Prefecture Travel Guide

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikivoyage or other free sources online. Ishikawa Prefecture stretches long and thin from south to north, and is located roughly in the center of the Japanese archipelago, jutting out into the Sea of Japan. With both coastal and mountain environments, as well as the agricultural plains of Kanazawa, the Hakusan Mountain Range peaking at an elevation of 2702 meters, and the Noto Peninsula, which juts out into the Sea of Japan, you can find a diversity of landscapes in each area of the prefecture. Ishikawa Prefecture, made up of the former Kaga and Noto fiefs, offers a blend of cultural and historical sights and natural beauty. To the north, the peninsula, Noto-hant , has sweeping seascapes and quiet fishing villages. Hakusan National Park, near the southern tip of the prefecture, offers great hiking. This book offers information on Ishikawa Prefecture in Japan and its most notable places.
