Great article. Like the article, I also highly recommend #Kanazawa in #Ishikawa (the #Hokuriku area).

The #NotoPeninsula (#NotoHanto) also has lots of great stuff - especially the festivals in August.

Not sure if #Wajima or #Suzu are ready yet for tourists after the New Years Day earthquake last year, though. If they have recovered enough, they are awesome and definitely in need of some support.

Sad to so on #Japan news that #Wajima (and the #NotoPeninsula as a whole) is still no where near recovering from the earthquake. Yes, I know it takes time, but I don't think anyone can give the government good marks for their response and support.
