    Ishikawa Pref. Hakusanshi Yawatamachi Re 110
    These highlands are situated in Yahatamachi, Hakusan City. These highlands are famous all over Japan for flight sports like paragliding and hang-gliding. An aerial gondola takes one up to the elevation of 600m from which a panoramic view of the Sea of Japan can be seen.

    You can access the Shishiku Highlands by Gondola (700 yen return), and I heard there is also a hiking trail to the top as well. At the top theres a fantastic view of the plains, all the way to the...

    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.

    白山ホワイトロードにあるかまそこの滝は石川県側から3番目に見える滝です、約10メートル程の立木も沈んでしまうという底なしの滝ツボがあることからこの名前が付いたそです。

    Ishikawa Pref. Hakusanshi Chugu Hakusan Shirakawago White Road inside
    This waterfall is situated in Chugu, Hakusan City. A walking path from the Jadani Gardens along the Hakusan Shirakawa-go White Road leads to this waterfall. The falls were named for the similitude of the strands of water that tumble down the rock surface to that of the white hair of an aged woman. This waterfall is designated as one of Japan's Top 100 Waterfalls.

    Ishikawa Komatsu-shi Akazemachi
    This gorge is a scenic area, counted as one of the “eight vistas of Kano,” located in the middle section of the Osugidanikawa River. About 400 meters of footpaths have been laid out in the area, allowing visitors to sense the beauty of nature throughout all four seasons. It is said to be a superb place for viewing autumn leaves, and tourists flock here when the maples and oaks are at their peak colors around November every year.

    Ishikawa Hakusan-shi
    This waterfall is the second which can be seen along the Hakusan Shirakawa-go White Road from the Ishikawa Prefecture side. The waterfall’s name translates literally to “red stone,” a name it was given long ago when people were mining for gold in the area and discovered lumps of red rock clinging to the boulders. When the river’s water level is high, the fall’s stream splits into three rivulets resembling the strings of a shamisen, and thus it is also known as “Shamisen Falls.”

  • Watagadaki Falls

    Ishikawa Pref. Hakusanshi Shimoyoshitanimachi
    The Watagadaki Falls are one of the most famous spots in Tedori Gorge. Named “Watagadaki” (meaning “cotton waterfall”) because the water pours down like a white sheet of cotton, the Falls are the largest waterfall in the Tedori Gorge, crashing down a 32-meter-high cliff. There is a footpath that leads right up close to the Falls; to avoid slipping, it is advisable to wear shoes that give good grip, such as sneakers (trainers). The Watagadaki Falls are particularly spectacular in the autumn foliage season. The Falls are located approximately 50-minute drive from the Hakusan Interchange of the Hokuriku Expressway.

  • Fukube Falls
    Travel / Tourism
    Ishikawa Pref. Hakusanshi Chugu
    A waterfall located about midway along the Hakusan Shirakawa-go White Road connecting the Shirakawa-go World Heritage Site in Ishikawa Prefecture with Hida and Takayama in Gifu Prefecture. The waterfall's name is the Japanese name for the bottle guard and is derived from the fall's twin stream form. The scenery created by the 86-meter-long falls is spectacular; occasionally, the nearby road becomes wet from water from the falls. In fall, fall foliage colors the bare rock around the waterfall, and visitors can enjoy the contrast created by the reds, golds, and greens. The best time to enjoy the autumn foliage is from mid- to late October. In most years, the entire length of the road is open from mid-June to around mid-November. Bus tours also often stop at this famous sightseeing destination.

Long, thin Ishikawa prefecture runs along the Sea of Japan up into Noto Peninsula. Highlights of the seaside towns lining the west coast include Kanazawa, often described as a "Little Kyoto" thanks to its old wooden tea houses and geisha culture as well as its picturesque Japanese garden, Kenroku-en.
