About Ishikawa
Ishikawa is a prefecture located on the coast of the Sea of Japan, known for its historic cities, traditional crafts, and beautiful natural landscapes. The currency used in Ishikawa is the Japanese Yen. The prefecture is famous for its traditional arts such as lacquerware and gold leaf production, as well as its delicious seafood cuisine.
When to visit
The best time to visit Ishikawa is during the spring months of March to May when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, or in the fall from September to November when the autumn foliage is at its peak. Summers can be hot and humid, while winters can be cold with occasional snowfall.
Getting around
In Ishikawa, the most convenient way to get around is by using the efficient public transportation system, including buses and trains. Renting a car is also a popular option for exploring the more remote areas of the prefecture. Taxis are readily available in cities like Kanazawa for shorter trips.

When visiting Ishikawa, be sure to try the local specialty dishes such as Kaga cuisine, which includes dishes like Jibuni (simmered duck) and Kaga Yasai (local vegetables).

It's also a good idea to learn a few basic Japanese phrases to help you communicate with locals.
