The Hokuriku region is located in the center of Honshu, the largest and populous island of Japan. Ishikawa and Toyama Prefectures are jewels of this region, and they each feature a Tokyu Hotel!
More About Toyama and Ishikawa Prefectures
The western coast of both Toyama and Ishikawa prefectures face the Sea of Japan. From these waters, abundant with fish and crustaceans, come fresh and delicious snow crabs, yellowtail and white shrimp, making the region a seafood mecca for both locals and tourists.
The inland side of Hokuriku is lined with majestic mountains, such as the Tateyama Mountain Range and Hakusan Mountain, and is known for its heavy winter snowfall. Thanks to clear water from melted snow, Hokuriku is also one of Japan's leading rice and sake producing regions.
As a result of the recent March 2024 extension of the Hokuriku Shinkansen bullet train, this region, rich in natural beauty and traditional cultural arts – lacquerware and metalcraft specifically - can be reached in only 2 ½ hours from Tokyo. Kanazawa and Toyama City, the respective capitals of Ishikawa and Toyama prefectures, with their exceptional omotenashi hospitality, are waiting for your visit!
