Top Ishikawa Prefecture Adventure Tours

Noto has become one of the most popular cycling destination in Japan thanks to its huge variety of landscapes and deep cultural heritage. Unfortunately, being a remote rural area, there is yet no facility for independant travelers to rent a good bicycle and enjoy the peninsula the best way possible. I have been living in the Wajima countryside for over 5 years, where I have been learning about local history and culture, while working at a traditional salt farm; and more recently as a local guide and cycling tour guide. Depending on your interests and location, I will bring you to the most rewarding routes for an unforgetable day in Noto. The bicycles are light weighed quality bicycles (Cannondale quick 2). The area is quite mountainaous, so climbing is unavoidable. That means a minimum level of fitness is required. To make the tour accessible to your whole group, e-bikes (or road bikes) can also be available for an extra fee if booked at least 3 days prior.

Meet your guide at the iconic Tsuzumimon Gate of Kanazawa Station and set off on a running tour through the city. Follow your guide along a route that weaves through historic landmarks and the everyday streets where people actually live. Rather than rushing through tourist spots, proceed at the city's own pace. Take in the tranquil flow of the Saigawa River, the morning light filtering through Higashi Chaya District, the greenery around Kenroku-en Garden, and the unassuming sounds of daily life in residential areas just waking up. Run along paths locals use as part of their daily routine. Distances range from 5 km to 20 km and can be customized to suit your pace, fitness level, and preferences. After the run, head to a café near Kanazawa Station. Sip a drink with a distinct Kanazawa flavor while reflecting on the route you've just covered.
