Hakui

Hakui, tucked along the Sea of Japan on Ishikawa’s Noto Peninsula, is a city whose character is shaped by its sandy shoreline and the weather arriving off the water. Its notable coastal landmark is Chirihama Nagisa Driveway, a stretch of firm beach where vehicles are permitted to travel directly on the sand when conditions allow. Inland, Keta Taisha is an important Shinto shrine associated with the deity Ōkuninushi; its wooded precincts contrast with the open coast. Hakui also hosts Cosmo Isle Hakui, a museum devoted to space exploration and one of the city’s more unexpected themes.
