First of all, this county is different from other counties.
First of all, Japanese "county" and China "county" are not the same thing. Japan's local administration is divided into 47 prefectures, 1 prefecture, 1 prefecture, 2 prefectures and 43 counties, namely 1 Tokyo and 1 Hokkaido. The two prefectures refer to Osaka Prefecture, Kyoto Prefecture and Ishikawa Prefecture, and all prefectures are prefectures.
Second, where is Ishikawa?
Ishikawa Prefecture is located in the center of Honshu Island, Japan, near the Sea of Japan.
The seat of the county hall is Kanazawa City, about 300 kilometers away from major cities in Japan. From Tokyo, it takes 2 hours and 20 minutes and 2 hours and 50 minutes to take Thunderbird, and 2 hours and 30 minutes to take Shinkansen.
There are two airports in the prefecture, Komatsu Airport in the south and Nengdenglishan Airport in the north, which can fly directly to Tokyo.
If you come to Ishikawa from China, there are two main ways to choose. One is to fly directly from Shanghai Pudong Airport to Komatsu Airport by Eastern Airlines, with four round-trip flights every Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. The second is to fly from domestic airport to Osaka or Tokyo airport, and then transfer to express tram or Shinkansen to Kanazawa.
Third, the land is vast and sparsely populated, the ocean and the world of ice and snow.
Ishikawa Prefecture covers an area of 465,438+086 square kilometers, ranking 35th in Japan. The east-west length is about 100 km, and the north-south length is about 200 km. The trend is the same as that of the Japanese archipelago, showing a long and narrow shape from north to south. With a coastline of 580 kilometers, it is rich in fishery resources, and seafood and sashimi crabs are super delicious.
The total population is about 65,438+0,654,38+0.5 million, of which Kanazawa City, where the county hall is located, has a population of 466,000, accounting for 40% of the total population. The remaining 89% areas, especially Nengdeng area, are vast and sparsely populated, with more trees than people.
By the way, Deng Deng-Deng Lishan Road is breathtaking.
Japan's coastal climate has four distinct seasons, with an average annual temperature of 15.8 degrees and an average annual rainfall of 24 19 mm, ranking fifth in Japan. Summer is warm, sometimes the temperature is high, winter is rainy and snowy, and there is little sunshine. The snow in mountainous areas often reaches one meter deep. It is no exaggeration to call it the kingdom of ice and snow.
The industries in Ishikawa are mainly machinery, fiber and food, of which machinery shipments account for two-thirds. The development and manufacture of construction machinery and industrial machinery enjoys a high reputation in the world. The most famous is Komatsu Co., Ltd.
Fourth, the traditional craft kingdom.
Ishikawa Prefecture basically belonged to Kaga Fan during the Edo period and was under the jurisdiction of Maeda, the most famous rice producer. With the support of its rich financial resources, various cultures have developed by leaps and bounds, especially in arts and crafts.
(Regarding the history of Kaga Fan, I recommend watching the Dahe drama "Li Jia and Song" broadcast by NHK in 2002, which can be watched in Youku/album list/show/ID _ 2393898.html).
The exquisite craftsmanship of famous craftsmen has been passed down from generation to generation and has become a proud representative of traditional craftsmanship in Ishikawa Prefecture.
In recent years, Ishikawa Prefecture proposed "establishing a county by culture". At present, there are 36 kinds of traditional handicrafts designated by the state 10, 6 kinds of traditional handicrafts designated by the county and 20 kinds of rare traditional handicrafts. Covering lacquerware, porcelain, dyed fabrics, paper, fireworks, etc.
Among them, Jiugu porcelain has bold patterns and bright colors. It was exported overseas about 100 years ago and was very popular.
Wheel island painting is a representative lacquer ware in Japan, which is famous for its firmness and beauty. It is purely manual and needs more than 100 processes.
Kanazawa's gold foil production accounts for 99% of Japan's total output, and its thickness is as thin as one tenth of a millimeter. In recent years, online celebrity products such as gold foil ice cream, gold foil octopus balls and gold foil coffee have been launched.
Kaga Youchan is a representative dyeing process in Japan, with realistic flowers, plants, insects and birds as the main color, and rouge, indigo, ochre, green and purple (called "Kaga multicolored"), which has the elegant beauty of martial style.
Five, the treasure house of food
Ishikawa Prefecture benefits from rich and beautiful natural scenery, and there are only a handful of varied natural scenery in Japan. Rich in ingredients all year round, you can taste all kinds of delicious food.
Kaga Shi Huai cuisine
Kaga's Shi Huai cuisine, together with Tokyo's Akasaka and Kyoto's Gion cuisine, is called the three major Japanese Shi Huai cuisines, which is characterized by paying great attention to the containers used, with exquisite and beautiful gold paintings on lacquerware tableware and gorgeous and elegant Jiugu burning containers. This is a double feast of taste and vision.
In addition, the talents who use local characteristics to cook Ishikawa local dishes and Kaga vegetables headed by the Governor's Office are also a major feature of Shi Huai cuisine in Kaga.
And fruit
Ishikawa tea ceremony is popular, and the proportion of people who love tea ceremony is the highest in Japan. It is the origin of China's famous tea ceremony and fruit (Japanese dim sum).
And the fruit is exquisite and beautiful, which should change with the seasons.
Ishikawa wine
Ishikawa has high-quality water and rice, and is a famous wine-making place in Japan. Winter is the peak season for wine making.
There are many Japanese wine brands, such as Noguchi Shang Yan Institute, Yousui, Juzhi, Wuchuan and Xuanzong.
