- Tsukumo Bay
- Travel / Tourism
- Ishikawa Pref. Housugunnotochou Ogi ツキ Ichinoseze/Koshika
- Tsukumo Bay is located in Noto Town, Hosu County. Although the total area is only around 1 kilometer from east to west and 1.5 kilometers from north to south, because of the complex rias-type (sawtooth) coastline, the total length of coastline is around 13 kilometers. The name “Tsukumo” (meaning “ninety-nine”) derives from the large number of inlets along the coast. The area is renowned for its spectacular scenery, which is enhanced by the islands—such as Horajima—that seem to float in the bay. The region has been designated as the Noto Hanto Quasi-National Park and as a Marine Park. Visitors can enjoy superb views from the tourist boats that visit the Bay, and from Hiyoriyama Park on the western side of the Bay.

- Located in Koiji, Noto Town in Hosu County, the Koiji Coast looks out onto Iida Bay. The name “Koiji” (“Love Road”) derives from the tragic legend of Nabeno and Sukesaburo, who met their deaths in the sea here. There are various monuments commemorating the two lovers, including a “Bell of Happiness,” and the “Love Road” is famous as a place for developing or strengthening ties of love.

Ishikawa Areas
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.
