Heroic festivals held across the Noto Peninsula from summer to autumn, featuring massive lantern floats called "Kiriko." Some Kirikos stand over 10 meters high, dancing through the streets at night to the sound of flutes and drums. Known as some of Japan's "hottest" festivals, the sight of light-filled Kirikos charging through fire or the sea is divine and passionate, reflecting the deep faith and spirit of Noto.

Agehama Salt Making
Ishikawa

Agehama Salt Making

This is Japan's oldest salt-making method, called "Agehama-shiki," which survives only in Suzu City on the Noto Peninsula. Seawater is repeatedly sprinkled on the sand, concentrated by the sun and wind, and then boiled in cauldrons. While labor-intensive and requiring master skills, the resulting salt is rich in minerals and has a deep flavor with a hint of sweetness. Visitors can observe or experience the process, touching the spirit of craftsmen who preserve tradition in harmony with nature. It’s a valuable cultural experience to learn about the "authentic salt" that supports Japanese food.

Mitsukejima Island

Mitsukejima Island

Known as the symbol of Oku-Noto, Mitsukejima is a massive 28-meter-high rock formation. Its unique shape resembles a warship, earning it the nickname "Gunkanjima" (Warship Island). A path of stones allows visitors to walk near the island during low tide. The beach is also called "Enmusubi (Matchmaking) Beach," where a legend says ringing a bell brings happiness. The silhouette of the island against the sunrise or sunset is particularly mystical, offering a deep sense of having reached the ends of Noto.

Gojinjo-daiko Drumming

A powerful folk art from Wajima City, Noto. Legend says villagers wore masks of ghosts and put seaweed on their heads to scare away Uesugi Kenshin's invading army in the 16th century. Drummers wearing eerie masks beat out complex, thunderous rhythms and dance fiercely. The echoes in the dark and the intense movements stir the soul, telling the story of Noto's resilient and proud history.

Shiroyone Senmaida Rice Terraces
Ishikawa

Shiroyone Senmaida Rice Terraces

This stunning scenic spot features 1,004 tiny rice paddies cascading like a geometric pattern down a steep slope facing the Sea of Japan. A symbol of the UNESCO GIAHS site "Noto's Satoyama and Satoumi," it is still maintained by hand by locals because machinery cannot be used. The combination of the blue sea, green seedlings, and the reflection of the sunset on the water is breathtaking. In winter, an illumination event called "Aze no Kirameki" uses LEDs to create a mystical glowing outline of the paddies at night.
