- Ishikawa Hakusan-shi
- This waterfall is the third which can be seen along the Hakusan Shirakawa-go White Road from the Ishikawa Prefecture side. Its name literally translates to “rock bottom,” a name it was given because of its “bottomless” pool at the top of the falls deep enough to engulf a large tree. The falls look spectacular in spring when the fresh new leaves have emerged and the river’s water level is high, but it is also quite beautiful during the fall foliage season.

- Komatsu Castle Ruins
- Travel / Tourism
- Ishikawa Pref. Komatsushi Marunouchimachi
- The Komatsu Castle Ruins are located just a short walk from Komatsu Station on the JR Hokuriku Line in the city of Komatsu, Ishikawa Prefecture. Thought to be a castle originally built during the Jodo Shinshu Buddhist Uprising, it was overcome by Oda Nobunaga's forces and subsequently became the residence of the military leader Murakami Yorikatsu. In 1639 it underwent major remodeling, so that it was nearly a new castle, and became a sort of retirement home for the daimyo Maeda Toshitsune. Only the Unagibashi-gomon Gate, which became the gate of Raishoji Temple, and the main tower base and stone walls on the grounds of the present-day Komatsu Prefectural High School remain standing today. Ongoing excavations have turned up further traces, including stone walls and tiles.
