Noto

Few towns in Ishikawa Prefecture have a history as closely tied to the Noto Peninsula’s satoyama farming and satoumi fishing traditions as Noto. Its territory extends across the peninsula between the Sea of Japan and Toyama Bay, where wooded slopes, rice fields and coastal communities remain closely connected. In 2011, Noto’s Satoyama and Satoumi was recognised by the FAO as a Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System. July brings Ushitsu’s Abare Festival, noted for its towering kiriko lantern floats and energetic shrine processions. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of the Noto Peninsula.
