Noto, Ishikawa - A City of History
This video, titled "Noto, Ishikawa Tourism PR Video" (【石川県能登町観光PR】心あばれる), was created by "Noto Town."
Noto, Ishikawa, in the Hokuriku region of Japan, is a town with more than 1,300 years of history. It's a small town that boasts the gentle coastline of Uchiura, facing Toyama Bay (富山湾, Toyamawan) and the Mt. Hachibuse (鉢伏, Hachibuseyama), where precious ancient beech forests remain.
The town has a long history, prospering from dolphin hunting in the Jomon period (14,00 B.C. to 400 B.C.), and worshipping the god of agriculture and marriage, also known as the god of mountains.
Please enjoy the video of the countryside, Noto, where history and culture are still alive today.
From Noto to Wajima - Japan's Famous Agricultural Heritage Sites
In June 2011, Noto, Ishikawa was registered as a Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System (GIAHS).

To date, 57 areas in 21 countries have been recognized by the organization.
In Japan, there are 11 areas that have been certified.
