Kanazawa has been 2 h 30 from Tokyo since 2015, and the prefecture grew on that single fact. The 2024 extension to Tsuruga added Fukui. The Noto peninsula is recovering unevenly after the 2024 earthquake: access has to be checked property by property, not by prefecture.

The prefecture

The only prefecture with a double-digit fall: -17.2% in a year. This is a return to base after the 2024 recovery-support programmes, not a demand collapse — the international segment fell only 2.6% against 20.6% domestic. Read it as normalisation.
