Introducing Wajima

This fishing port, the largest town in Oku-Noto, is a historic centre for the production of Wajima-nuri (Wajima lacquerware) and has become a significant, if understated, centre for tourism. The town centre is nicely refurbished, and the morning market is fun.

The tourist information office (22-1503; 7am-10pm) at the former Wajima train station (now called the Michi-no-eki, still the bus station) provides English leaflets and maps, and the staff can book accommodation (from 8am to 7pm, in person only).
