Mitsukejima Island

Known as the symbol of Oku-Noto, Mitsukejima is a massive 28-meter-high rock formation. Its unique shape resembles a warship, earning it the nickname "Gunkanjima" (Warship Island). A path of stones allows visitors to walk near the island during low tide. The beach is also called "Enmusubi (Matchmaking) Beach," where a legend says ringing a bell brings happiness. The silhouette of the island against the sunrise or sunset is particularly mystical, offering a deep sense of having reached the ends of Noto.

Agehama Salt Making

This is Japan's oldest salt-making method, called "Agehama-shiki," which survives only in Suzu City on the Noto Peninsula. Seawater is repeatedly sprinkled on the sand, concentrated by the sun and wind, and then boiled in cauldrons. While labor-intensive and requiring master skills, the resulting salt is rich in minerals and has a deep flavor with a hint of sweetness. Visitors can observe or experience the process, touching the spirit of craftsmen who preserve tradition in harmony with nature. It’s a valuable cultural experience to learn about the "authentic salt" that supports Japanese food.
