💡 Tips for Visitors

Renting a car is highly recommended as public transportation is limited; buses are infrequent and many attractions are spread out across the peninsula. Most restaurants and shops are cash-only, so withdraw yen before arriving as ATMs are scarce outside main towns like Wajima and Nanao. Visit during spring for cherry blossoms or autumn for colorful foliage, while avoiding winter when heavy snow can make roads difficult to navigate.
