Noto has prospered since ancient times as a transit point for trade on the Sea of Japan, and its unique culture and traditions are alive and well. The area is full of attractions that will make you want to stay longer, such as riding a local train to view the tranquil scenery of the sea and the satoyama from the train window, enjoying seafood and mountain delicacies, and soaking in a relaxing hot spring bath.
