Walk Japan has introduced its Onsen Gastronomy: Noto Tour, which is an exploration journey of Japanese culinary excellence and onsen bathing through the rural landscapes of the Noto Peninsula in Japan’s northern Ishikawa Prefecture.
The tours combines light walking through the rural countryside with a focus on the area’s renowned local cuisine, hot springs and fine crafts epitomised by Wajima lacquerware.
The Onsen Gastronomy: Noto Tour is a five-day, four-night fully guided tour with a maximum group size of 12. Starting at Kanazawa Station and finishing at Wakura Onsen, the tour covers mostly flat terrain, making it accessible to moderately active participants.
