[2025 Komatsu Attraction] Travel Guide for Hiyo Moss Garden (Updated Apr)

Hiyo-cho is a mountain village in Komatsu City, Ishikawa Prefecture. In this town, a project called "Forest of Wisdom" is being carried out to pass on nature and traditional culture to the next generation. "Forest of Wisdom" is a tourist experience spot that Komatsu City is proud of, including the beautiful moss garden "Moss Village" and the interactive experience facility "Wisdom House" where workshops can be held, renovated from a 100-year-old traditional house. This "Moss Village" is known as one of the most famous moss spots in Japan, and the well-maintained moss garden is simply spectacular! The grounds of Hiyo Shrine across the street are also decorated with beautiful moss. It's not that big, so you can take a leisurely stroll in 30 minutes. The entrance fee is 500 yen per person as an environmental conservation contribution. When you enter, make sure to put your camera in a wooden box. Also, using a tripod when taking photos is strictly prohibited (including Hiyo Shrine). There is an unmanned souvenir corner nearby that sells moss balls and potted plants. It seems there is also a cafe. #tripdomestictravel #ishikawaprefecture #greatview #mossspot
