From Echizen to Hokuriku
Echizen is the gateway to the “Country of Koshi” where the ancient kings ruled.As a town that has inherited the skills and spirit of its predecessors for 1,500 years Echizen washi paper, Echizen hammered blades, Echizen tansu (chests), and various other crafts are still alive today.
The Hokuriku area, as well as Echizen, was once the first area to receive cutting-edge technology and culture from across the Sea of Japan and was the origin of Japan's profound craftsmanship and concentration of wisdom.Traditional industries that live in harmony with the nature of the land and the people who live here are imbued with universal wisdom that humanity will carry with it into the next millennium.
A new journey of exploration, exchanging across borders, time, and space.There is a future to be created by visiting this place.Welcome to Hokuriku.
Embark on a journey to experience the wisdom of the Grand Master by experiencing firsthand the lifestyle nurtured by the climate.
In Hokuriku, there are grandmasters who have been passing down their skills and wisdom for hundreds of years.
Each region has a diverse culture of food and crafts built in harmony with nature and the environment, and its deep spirituality is passed down from one generation to the next.
A journey to meet and talk with grandmasters from around the country while visiting silent mountains wrapped in deep green, the magnificent Sea of Japan, and scattered villages surrounded by the colors of the four seasons.
Immersing yourself in their way of life, which preserves traditions while embracing daily activities, will offer you a fresh perspective and enrich your experience in ways not typically found in your everyday routine.
Thank you for taking a look at our trip to Hokuriku to experience the wisdom of the land.

We are confident that we can provide you with a memorable moment by experiencing the wisdom, skill, and depth of the craftsmanship that has been passed down through the generations in this region.
