Ishikawa Prefecture, facing the Sea of Japan, flourished during the Edo period as one of Japan’s wealthiest domains, and its opulent history and culture remain vibrant today. The capital city, Kanazawa, preserves graceful streetscapes—home to Kenrokuen (one of Japan’s most celebrated gardens) and the historic Higashi Chaya geisha district—earning the nickname “the Little Kyoto of Hokuriku” among visitors from Japan and abroad. The Noto Peninsula’s abundant nature and hot-spring towns such as the Kaga Onsenkyo further add to the appeal. With the Hokuriku Shinkansen, access from the Tokyo metropolitan area has improved dramatically, supporting continued interest in real estate. Demand for apartments (condos) concentrates in central Kanazawa and around major stations, driven by local residents, university students (e.g., Kanazawa University), corporate transferees, and rising needs for short-term rentals and second homes among tourists.
