Noto Peninsula
The remote Noto Peninsula in northern Ishikawa extends about 100 kilometers into the Sea of Japan. Its secluded location and rustic charm make an ideal escape from Kanazawa and Japan's other major cities. The area is home to beautiful coastal scenery, quaint fishing villages, thriving agricultural traditions, and centuries-old craft cultures. The main centers, Wakura Onsen and Wajima, each have a relaxed atmosphere and make ideal bases for exploring the area.
