About
Located on the north-western coast along the Sea of Japan, Ishikawa is renowned for its traditional crafts. The region is particularly famous for its exquisite gold leaf, which can be found on everything from ancient artifacts to modern art pieces. Kutani pottery is another celebrated craft, known for its vibrant colors and intricate patterns. The capital city, Kanazawa, is home to the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, a diverse collection of modern art from both Japanese and international artists. The city also stands out for its remarkably preserved Edo-period districts, which provide a vivid glimpse into Japan's historical past. Another highlight is Kenrokuen Garden, one of Japan’s "Three Great Gardens," and a must-visit. One can also enjoy the prefecture’s picturesque coastal areas, where rugged cliffs and serene beaches create breathtaking vistas. Together, these features make Ishikawa a prefecture that blends artistic charm and scenic splendor.
