  Location and Transportation

  Location
Komatsu City is located in Ishikawa Prefecture at the center of Honshu Island facing the Sea of Japan. It is situated within 300 km from Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya, Japan's three largest metropolitan areas. Kanazawa, the capital of Ishikawa Prefecture, is within 30 km and can be reached in 30 minutes by car or rail.
  Transportation
Komatsu City offers efficient and easily accessible transportation networks (air, rail, road and sea) and, with Komatsu Airport in particular, serves as the gateway of the Hokuriku region to major cities in Japan as well as to the world. Since the Komatsu Airport area is one of 22 districts authorized by the Japanese government as “FAZ” (Foreign Access Zone), public and private efforts are focused on improving the infrastructure in this area as the hub of international distribution and shipment for air freight, aiming at the concentration of airport-related industries such as processing, warehousing & logistics, and tourism
