Luxury bus “Sai no Kaze”
“Kanazawa Adventures” (Location: 2-4-8 Nagata, Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture, Representative: Kohei Takada), a travel agency that is rooted in the region and thoroughly disseminates the charms of Hokuriku, will open on Saturday, September 14, 2024. ) as part of Noto’s reconstruction support, “I have to go!” We will travel to Noto and hold a support bus tour.
* 1. Thoughts on this tour *
To date, we have been able to carry out many wonderful initiatives thanks to the ties and connections we have as a local company. These irreplaceable people were also affected by the Noto Peninsula Earthquake that occurred on New Year’s Day 2024, and even now, daily life has not returned to normal. Even in such a situation where foot traffic to the site has been cut off and it is difficult to go there, the charm of Noto’s people and land continues to capture our hearts, and many people want to visit Noto as soon as possible. We have heard that you would like to visit us again.
At the same time, the local people of Noto, with whom we have had “connections”, expressed their hope that those who had supported us would come again and feel once again the charm of Noto. After carefully listening to these two voices and thinking about what we could do, we realized that our mission is to connect the thoughts of both parties.
We received comments from people who participated in the monitor tour we held the other day, saying, “It was great to be able to talk directly with the people I went to and interact with them.” I once again realized the importance of connecting the feelings of Noto people and tourists.
By listening to the voices of the local people and communicating with them, we will move forward with this initiative to once again revitalize Noto through the power of tourism, while being careful not to increase the burden of tourism pollution and impede reconstruction efforts.
The first step is this “I have to go! Noto” travel support bus tour.

However, it suffered severe damage from the Noto Peninsula Earthquake in 2020, and restoration work is currently underway.

Approximately 8,000 wine grapes of 7 varieties are cultivated throughout the year. The grapes grown in the mineral-rich soil unique to the west coast of the Noto Peninsula have a complex and rich flavor.
