Our buses

Heralding the advent of luxury touring in Kanazawa and the Hokuriku Region, our Sainokaze buses are equipped with custom-made seats to maximize spaciousness for an stress-free journey.

The bus concept was conceived by the blending traditional arts, crafts and culture which characterize Kanazawa. The word 彩の風 （Sainokaze） reflects the beauty of impermanence and change through the four seasons. It carries our intention that our guests are completely engaged with the uniqueness of every moment.

The exterior design was made by local Kaga Yuzen kimono artist Hitoshi Maida. Kaga Yuzen is a Japanese kimono dyeing technique which features motifs such as flowers and birds making use of the five colors of Kaga known as Kaga Gosai. The bus design incorporates symbols which represent Kanazawa, such as the Yukitsuri (tree suspenders) and the emblem of the Maeda family, who ruled over the region during the feudal period.`
