From Kanazawa: Amaharashi Coast, Big Buddha and Shokawa River Cruise
- Stop by Amaharashi, get some pictures and then head up the coast for other views of the bay and mountains
- See the famous Takaoka Big Buddha and traditional streetscape of the city
- Hop on a river cruise through the Shokawa Valley to experience Japanese seasons at their best in the mountains, on a boat
What to expect
Toyama Bay is famed for its fresh seafood and stunning mountains. The Northern Japanese Alps offer great sights like the Tateyama-Kurobe Alpine Route, Kurobe Gorge, and Gokayama, but the range itself is breathtaking from afar. This tour visits Amaharashi, a top spot for viewing snow-covered peaks, then heads to Takaoka to see the Big Buddha. The area has excellent food options, too! Finally, the tour ventures into the mountains for a short cruise on the Shokawa River, a stunning valley in all seasons—snowy in winter, lush in summer, and vibrant in autumn. If you want to experience Japan’s sea and mountain scenery, this tour is perfect!
Reviews
Japan's Takaoka, Himi, and Amaharashi Coast 🌊 This private car tour is highly recommended for those traveling with elderly parents. Our guide, Daniel, was incredibly enthusiastic and attentive throughout the entire trip, especially for those looking to explore the areas around Kanazawa.
Gareth is excellent, nice and helpful and can take care of everyone during the trip.
Luckily, we had good weather and were able to see the Tateyama Mountain Range. Recommended for those who are not on a self-driving trip.
we we so fortunate to have Mike as our guide. He was informative, nice and helpful! The coast was beautiful even on a cloudy day. But the river boat ride was stunning.
