One of Japan’s Snowiest Towns – 1hr from Kanazawa
We explored Hakusan City, Ishikawa, home to Shiramine, a snowy village rich in tradition, and Tsurugi, a town just 40 minutes by train from Kanazawa, known for its sacred sites and vibrant local life.
Hakusan City is part of the Hakusan Tedorigawa Geopark and has so much to offer—stunning nature, outdoor adventures, and hands-on cultural experiences! If you’re planning a trip to Kanazawa, we highly recommend stopping by Hakusan City to experience authentic Japanese traditions and breathtaking nature 🌱

Hope you enjoy this video from Hakusan City ❄ Sorry we haven’t been posting much lately—thanks for sticking with us! What kind of videos would you like to see next? Let us know in the comments 🇯🇵
Hey!!!!! Love a new TC video! Thanks guys! Is so fun to watch Shiori ❤
Thank you so much for posting!
Wonderful snow spot⛄
How fun! Always great to have Shiori join you. The silk fashions looked great on you, Emma.
I’ll miss Sarah.
IT'S SO PRETTY!
I was in Kanazawa a few days ago. I should have visited it while I was there!
I always love learning about other places in Japan that are not as popular or well heard of. Seeing the different culture of the areas and what to do. I have started a list so I can keep track when I visit,
Glad to see Tokyo Creative back, I’ve missed you guys (especially Shiori!). I will miss Sarah though; I still miss Natasha 😅
I'm watching this now it's a fantastic place ❤❤❤❤
It's good to see you again Tokyo creative we missed you, The sushi making was very interesting and poor Joe slipping when snow landed on him 😂
For video ideas you could do a vlog on the best museums to visit in Japan or videos on specific events that happens in Japan for example the EXPO2025 that will be hosted in Osaka starting on April 13th to October 13th
Yikes 😳
HELLO 🤗 EMMA & CREW ❄️🌨️❄️ SNOW ❄️🌨️❄️ but it looks WONDERFULLY BEAUTIFUL THANK U 4 SHARING ❤❤❤
I'm sure that Japan has more than "three sacred mountains" – if only because all mountains are considered to have spiritual qualities in Japan.
I really enjoyed Joe's contribution to the video, and also am curious about how Australian Susan ended up living in this part of Japan.
Always fun hanging out with you guys! Hoping we can make more this year! 🙌
Good to see Shiori on that side of the camera again.
The suboptimal sound quality unfortunately detracted from being able to enjoy this video fully.😢
You can't tell me Shiori is not a Japanese anime character, she's so adorable
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thought I saw a young Ozzy Osbourne at the beginning
Love seeing my goat Joe Allam
Sound was a little up and down
Been watching since the very early days, and if it is one thing that I've always enjoyed, and times miss, is Shiori. What she brings out in others is true magic, I even recall when she was first introduced . Shine on, you little giant.
Emma, you are a wonderful companion and I'm so glad you're feeling better! Thank you for your courage to me!
Wow, so nice to see the lesser-known areas of Ishikawa being featured! It's so beautiful here, I'm glad you all came and enjoyed it (even in the crazy snow!)
Excellent video. I would love to visit there one day for sure.
I did like it, Shiori, and I also liked seeing you and your rad kawai energy back in front of the camera
The video was great, I loved the place, looking forward to go! However, no man supermarket with facial recognition? NO thanks, there are so so many wrong things about it, I don’t get why ppl gets so hyped out and happy about that….😅
pls more subs for Shiori, she is cute, when she speaks Japanese, but i can understand around 40-50% of it and i want to know the meaning of every little noise she makes, and make Sarah/Seerasan be your guest star, i'll miss her from this team, and i'm sure, i'm not alone
any videos pls bring back the weekly/daily uploads
I'm an artist, and those shots at the beginning are incredible and are crying out for me to try an paint them lol. I would give an arm to got see it myself.
The kamashi reminded me of a japanese movie I once saw, called 'instant Numa' about a breakfast or bedtime drink which the lead character was addicted to since childhood and calledit instant swamp
I liked letting her take over for a bit. She is such a character XD
Haven't heard of Hakusan, but thank you for sharing it. 🙂
Love these getaways, I’m wondering if in the heat of the summer that this would be a lower temp option to getaway on a weekend to?
Shiori's look in that grey sweater 👌
I'm so bummed about the loss of Sarah ,tokyo creative just isn't the same without her 😢😢
Emma you looked great in the fashion show. 💞✨️💖💜
I’d like to go back to Hakusan in summer and more outdoor activities! 🌱
AI growing pains are tough, Great to see another upload though!
Was so lovely hanging out with everyone on this trip, and so great to meet Susan too! Also wow sooo much amazing snow omg it was so beautiful
I didn't understand why there was face recognition for that shop? Does it scan your items and charge your card as you leave?
Shiori is glowing! Holy Mc'Cow! <3 Lookin good!
Next time please pack enough mics for everyone please
I'm a little confused about what Shiori said at 4:15. Surely that wasn't the word I thought it was… 🤣
