Komatsu Travel Navigation

Komatsu city is located south of Ishikawa. If you have a JR Rail Pass , we definitely recommend you to take a train from Kanazawa station to get there! It ’s 20 minutes or less by an express train. Or you can directly fly from Tokyo, Fukuoka, Sendai, Sapporo, Naha, Taipei, Shanghai or Seoul to Komatsu Airport. This city is actually a manufacturing-friendly city, thus many business men visit the factories. The factories went global year after year. As a result, many foreigners also live in this city for job. They fit in with the local people, and local people learn cultural globalization from them.
