Nonoichi occupies the Kanazawa Plain in Ishikawa Prefecture, between the foothills of Mount Hakusan and the Sea of Japan. Directly southwest of Kanazawa, it is a compact urban municipality woven into the wider Hokuriku conurbation, with rail and road links placing it close to the region’s principal city. Nonoichi became a city in 2011, when the former town gained city status. Kanazawa Institute of Technology has its main campus here, making higher education and student life an important part of the local character.
