    Ishikawa Pref. Kanazawashi Nodamachi Inside the Noda Mountains
    "A cemetery where many historical figures rest in peace located in southwest urban Kanazawa City. The cemetery encompasses a vast, 430 square meter tract of land extending from the base to the peak of a 175 meter tall mountain. The cemetery's origins date back to when Maeda Toshihisa, brother of the then-lord of Kaga Domain Maeda Toshiie, was buried at the foot of Mt. Noda. Later, Toshiie and many of his descendants were also buried here. The cemetery is notable for its distinctive appearance resembling an ancient ""hofun"" flat topped burial mound. Unprecedented in size the cemetery has been designated a National Historic Site. In July during the Bon Festival, visitors can view a unique Kanazawa custom in which ""kiriko"" lanterns are hung around the cemetery."

Long, thin Ishikawa prefecture runs along the Sea of Japan up into Noto Peninsula. Highlights of the seaside towns lining the west coast include Kanazawa, often described as a "Little Kyoto" thanks to its old wooden tea houses and geisha culture as well as its picturesque Japanese garden, Kenroku-en.
