    Ishikawa Pref. Suzushi Matsunagimachi
    This is a strangely shaped four meters high rock on the coastal shore of Matsunagi Town, Suzu City in Ishikawa Prefecture. It is called “Godzilla Rock” and the name comes from its shape which resembles the “Godzilla” monster that appears in the movie. It is thought that it was created by erosion over the years by the waves of the Japanese Sea and it is now a tourist attraction. The figure looks as if it is about to breathe fire into the west sky and the most popular time to visit the site and view the rock is at dusk.

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.
