Tsubata

The landscape around Tsubata is a meeting of low-lying farmland and wooded hills, a setting that has shaped both the town’s settlement pattern and agricultural life. In northern Ishikawa Prefecture, Tsubata lies near Kahoku Lagoon, with rail and road routes connecting it to Kanazawa and the Noto Peninsula. Its best-known historical association is Kurikara Pass: the Battle of Kurikara in 1183, a major victory by Kiso Yoshinaka over the Taira clan, is traditionally linked to these hills. Temples, fields and residential neighbourhoods give the town a more everyday character than nearby Kanazawa.
