Overview
Komatsu, a castle town just west of Kanazawa, was forged by stone and time. Born from ancient underwater volcanoes, its stunning gorges and surreal, massive quarries create a landscape like no other. This Japan Heritage site boasts traditional stone architecture and other masterful crafts like porcelain—legacies rooted in the earth. Discover the soul of Komatsu with American actor Charles Glover.
