Overview

Beautiful beaches, old temples and shrines and a unique astronautical museum await you in the city of Hakui. Less than an hour north of Kanazawa on the Noto peninsula, this city is truly a slice of rural paradise. The beaches here are long and make for a great escape during the heat of the summer! Historically, this area was a crossroads whether that was during the Sengoku or Warring States Period over 300 years ago, and that importance is still seen today in the National Heritage Site of Myojoji Temple. The Sea of Japan Coast is quite spectacular and diverse, with beaches interspersed between captivating rock formations. Finally, you can experience a unique space museum that has both information about UFO sightings in the area and real NASA moon landers. This area is an excellent mix of traditional and natural beauty with the quirkiness of modern Japan. It is definitely a city not to miss when visiting Kanazawa!

Activity itinerary

Chirihama Beach
  • 1h 30m
Start your tour at Kanazawa Station, where your guide will greet you begin the tour and head straight to Hakui City. Arrive at Hakui Station and head out to the beach. Reach Chrihama Beach and enjoy the sea! Go swimming, see the sand art sculptures, eat or even relax. You have time to eat lunch at your own pace too. Ask you guide for recommendations for food.
Myojo-ji Temple
  • 3h
After getting a feel for the area you have free time to enjoy the beach in the morning. Next it’s time for lunch. You can eat at the Rest House, eat at any of the vendors in the area or bring your own bento from a convenience store. We will all meet up at 12:30 in front of the Rest House to start the next part of the trip. Once lunch is finished and the group is back together, we will head towards Myojoji Temple. The ride there is quite scenic with excellent views of the Sea of Japan as we make our way to the temple. The Myojoji Temple that you can see now was built in the early 1600s and almost all of the buildings are registered as a National Heritage Sites.
Cosmo Isle Hakui
  • 4h
  • Admission ticket included
After taking a bus back to the station and a short walk, we will arrive at the Hakui Cosmo Isle Museum. This place houses not only interesting stories of local UFO sightings, but real spacecraft on loan from various museums and space centers around the world. The museum has relationships with many other museums, such as the Smithsonian, so they can have such rare and unusual exhibits. It also shows the local history of UFO sightings. This city is famous for the unusually large number of claimed alien sightings over the centuries. This is definitely a museum that is unique, weird and very Japanese, in a modern sense. At around 17:00 start the journey back to Kanazawa Station with the estimated arrival time to be 18:00
