What’s about Hana yome no ren
The “Hana yome no ren” is a sightseeing train that runs between Kanazawa and Wakura Onsen.
In Noto, Kaga, and Ecchu, which were the fiefdoms of the Kaga clan, there was a custom called “Hana-noren” (brides’ curtains), in which brides were given a curtain on their wedding day to wish for their happiness, and this custom continues to this day.
This sightseeing train is also named “Bride’s Goodwill” in the hope that it will bring happiness to those who board it.
The train stops at Kanazawa, Hakui, Nanao, and Wakura Onsen.
Four trains make two round trips per day, mainly on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays.
You can also dine at Hanenoren.
(*Meal tickets must be purchased in advance.)
The meals that can be ordered differ depending on what time the train departs.
