| Komatsu is on the Honshu, the central island of Japan, some 321,868 km north west of Tokyo. Komatsu is located between the Sea of Japan and the Hakusan Mountains (White Mountains). Komatsu stands at the foot of a plain which is characterised by pine forests and rice and vegetable fields. The river Kakehashi runs through the plains to the coast.

Local Cuisine: Fish and rice are the main basic foods in Japan and Komatsu, due to its coastal location, offers an abundance of fish dishes. Noodles, known as udon, are also a favourite as is the local sake (rice wine) made from the waters of Mount Hakusan.
