Itinerary
Discover the heart of the rustic Noto Peninsula and its rugged coastlines, rice paddies, and endless farmland. Dinner will be on a menu made from fresh, local ingredients with a “strict” dress code requiring your traditional yukata (kimono).
Visit the asaichi, or morning market, finding anything from lacquerware and sake to fresh fish and vegetables. Ride along the scenic coast to a gorgeous waterfall and later on, take part in a special welcome ceremony at the local Shinto shrine.
This morning, learn about the traditional craft of paper-making. Then, stop for a dip in a local hot spring, taking in views out across the bay.
Ride back in time through sleepy fishing villages and past lush forests. Stop for a local lunch and head to the hot spring town of Wakura Onsen to indulge in a taste of Japan’s signature suki yaki with famous Noto Gyu (beef) as the highlight.
Drive through the awakening streets of Nanao to the island of Noto. Circumnavigating the island, pass through parkland and fishing communities, stopping along the way to watch for dolphins before a simple yet delicious lunch.
Explore the beautiful gardens of Kanazawa today. Then, experience a traditional tea ceremony before setting out on a scenic loop ride in the hot spring town of Yamanaka Onsen.
Bike through the winding mountains before exploring an amazing Buddhist temple. Tonight, we cap off a fantastic week in style with some local entertainment.
After breakfast, transfer to Kyoto and say farewells. Kyoto easily demands a stay of several nights with its temples, shrines and UNESCO World Heritage sites.
