Things to do in Ishikawa

Komine Castle, though small in size, is surrounded by stunning scenery. The white walls and black tiles of the three-tiered turrets, combined with stone walls and expansive lawns, create incredibly photogenic spots on a clear day. When we visited, the blue sky and white clouds made even casual snapshots evoke the feel of a traditional Japanese castle. Although the outer castle and museum are still under construction, it's possible to visit the interior of the three-tiered turrets. While the exterior is exquisite, the interior is a completely different experience. Exposed wooden beams and pillars, steep wooden staircases, and a relatively cramped space offer a clear view of the traditional wooden structure. There weren't many tourists, creating a comfortable space between the lawns and the castle walls, perfect for leisurely strolls and photography. While it can't compare to grand castles like Himeji Castle, I think it's worth stopping for an hour or two if you're traveling the Tohoku Main Line through Shirakawa.

We spent 4hrs here, some unique displays, mummy, buddha status, 100% recommended.

Lake Kawaguchi is a must-see when visiting, especially for those few days. I saw Mount Fuji from various angles every day. Photos of Mount Fuji are best taken on a clear day; otherwise, you might not be able to get a good shot.

Went there to see the night view and The Apothecary Diaries exhibition. The overall experience was great, I list how the dancing scene with stars in the sky blends in with the local city view seamlessly. Only thing is the area is pretty complex in terms of finding the right place to go, but for locals it should be a big deal. The overall price is pretty high, but I enjoy the view and exhibition.
