  • Nie Coast
    Travel / Tourism
    Ishikawa Suzu-shi Shimizumachi
    This coast features an extensive scenic rocky landscape that has been selected as having one of Japan Sunset Best 100. The appearance of the sun sinking into the sea is something worth seeing. One feature of the terrain is Mackerel Tail Rock, due to its shape. It is the only place in Japan where the method of producing salt by evaporating sea water has been practiced continuously for 500 years.
  • Kinoura Coast (Kinoura Marine Park)
    Travel / Tourism
    Ishikawa Suzu-shi Oritomachi Kinoura
    This coast has been designated as a special region of a Quasi-national Park, due to the abundance and variety of its marine animals and plants. The water is especially clear, even for this area, and it is a well-known spot for both diving and fishing. The prefecture-owned vacation village features a swimming beach, a campground, a park, and an observation deck.
  • Mitsuke Coast
    Travel / Tourism
    Ishikawa Suzu-shi Horyumachi Ukai
    The island of Mitsukejima, which lies at the tip of this coastline, has been nicknamed “Battleship Island,” due to its unique shape. Another of its names, Enmusu Beach, is a pun on “enmusubi,” or getting engaged, so it is a favorite spot for lovers. The island is illuminated at night, making it look romantic. A swimming beach and campground are open in the summer.
  • Tsukumo Bay

    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.
  • Koiji Coast

    Ishikawa Pref. Housugunnotochou Koiji
    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.

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.
