Japan’s Ice Cream Capital! Cycling to 12 Best Spots in Kanazawa for Ice Cream 🚲🍦 bike route linked
I love ice cream, so it’s a dream to live in Kanazawa, the ice cream capital of Japan! I made a bike route that passes 12 different tasty ice cream locations in this area – including unique flavors like miso and cheese or tofu ice cream, salty-sweet soy sauce soft serve, more traditional wagashi treats, kakigori shaved ice, vending machine ice cream, gold leaf toppings, vegetables in ice cream, and more!
You can ride this ice cream route yourself too, since I’ve linked the bike route in Japan below, as well as the websites for all the locations where I visited.

I really need to up my cycling game. It's amazing how many things you can see on a day trip like that! Next weekend my wife and I are riding around Hamanako in Shizuoka prefecture an hour or so from where I live. I'll be on the lookout for ice cream! As always, very inspiring 🙂
Does the milk in Japan taste different from that of the US? Or in different regions of Japan for that matter? Do the dairy cows have any special genetics (e.g. A1 or A2 beta casein) given that dairy products were not part of the traditional Japanese diet? What is the typical fat content of milk in grocery stores? Everything is so aesthetic in those ice cream shops!
Very lovely video as usual!
Wow! You like ice cream!
When you go on solo rides and go into shops, do you lock up your bike or is it safe enough to leave it unattended for a bit of time?
Great video. I hope someone in the Ishikawa Prefectural government gets to watch this. It would be cool for you to get sponsored by them. 🙂
Nice 😊 delicious thanks .
Watching your video made me want to ride a road bike. When the rainy season ends, I want to go cycling. 😄

Hi! Thanks for the video!! My boyfriend and I are visiting Kanazawa and today we hired two bicycles and follow a part of your icecream route :). We could not fit them all, obviously haha. We ate the wagashi icecream, tofu icecream and had two scoops of the miso-cheese & soy-chocolate icecream. Loved them all!!!! The wagashi was our favourite . The shaved ice was not on the menu anymore at one of the spots sadly, but we a great cup of tea and some mochi there.
Thanks again! We had an amazing time exploring the lovely streets of Kanazawa while having amazing icecream.
I didnt love kanazawa when I went but looking at this video, ah! Missed out on so many things!
