スケジュール-Schedule-
8:00 AM – Departure from Kanazawa Station (West Exit)
Depart by comfortable coach toward the northern reaches of the Noto Peninsula.
Shiroyone Senmaida Rice Terraces (Viewpoint)
Admire the iconic rice terraces cascading toward the Sea of Japan. In May, the flooded paddies may reflect the sky, creating a stunning seasonal landscape. (Photo stop only.) As you travel further north, pass near Cape Rokkosaki — the northernmost point of the peninsula — effectively tracing much of Noto’s dramatic coastline. Enjoy panoramic views along what is often called the Noto Peninsula Scenic Route.
Suzu Salt Village (Agehama Salt Fields)
Visit one of Japan’s few remaining sites preserving the 500-year-old Agehama method of salt-making. This traditional technique, unique to Oku-Noto, produces mineral-rich natural sea salt without additives. Learn about the process and browse locally made salt products, including sweets and specialty items.
