Getting there
About 30 min by car from Nishiyama IC (Noto Satoyama Kaido); 10 min walk from Togi bus stop
Easier with a tour or car
Good to know
Buses to Togi (from Hakui Sta.) run only in the morning and evening, with return buses only early in the morning, so a car is the practical option
Time needed
40 min
