- Ishikawa Pref. Suzushi Misakimachi Jike 4-2
- A Shinto shrine located on the northern tip of the Noto Peninsula. The shrine is said to have been founded 2,000 years ago on Mt. Yamabushi on the northeastern point of the Noto Peninsula and was later moved to its current location in the eighth century. The shrine is dedicated to a married pair of gods and has been visited by people seeking luck in love and marriage since ancient times. The shrine is also seen as the guardian shrine of the area of the Sea of Japan located in the unlucky direction of the northeast and is believed to ward away misfortune. The shrine's treasure house contains a wooden figure of a male god designated an Important Cultural Property as well as various items relating to the samurai Minamoto no Yoshitsune and the warrior monk Benkei. Another highlight is a boulder inscribed with a haiku by author Genzo Murakami which was composed to commemorate the Wajima Kiriko Art Museum and the creation of a television drama based on Minamoto no Yoshitsune.

- Ishikawa Pref. Suzushi Takojimamachi 1-2-480
- This is a Suzu-yaki exhibition and store located in Takojima Town, Suzu City, Ishikawa Prefecture. There are a large number of modern potteries’ works displayed in the facility. The simple but powerful and unique Suzu-yaki represents the style of pottery of the late Heian period when medieval Sea of Japan culture flourished. Although this style of pottery disappeared soon after this period, it was revived in 1976. They are popular as “Noto” souvenirs because the more they are used the more they develop a tasteful, worn look. A range of everyday useful pottery is available in the store such as beer cups, teacups and vases.

土が鉄分を含むため珠洲の陶器は黒みを帯びています。どことなく朴訥とした優しい雰囲気の焼き物が多い中、デザイン次第でシックな都会的な作品も時々出会えます。珠洲焼は東京のおしゃれなショップにもさりげなく置かれていたりします。こちらの珠洲焼会館では白身のカルパッチョが映えそうな深い黒のお皿に出会えました。

奥能登国際芸術祭で訪れたラポルトすずの施設内にあるカフェとゆーか食堂です。ローストビーフ丼は予想以上に美味しかったです。「ローストビーフ丼を注文したお客様にはお箸をプレゼントしています」と輪島塗のお箸まで頂きました。ただ、店員さんが、この芸術祭のせいで激務になったせいか、笑顔どころかしかめっ面…。それがちょっと残念でした。
