Experience Details
Noto Peninsula is a region known for its beautiful coastal scenery and delicious local cuisine. The tour starts with visiting the rice terraces of Senmaida. These rice terraces were registered as Japan’s first Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System (GIAHS). Here you can see the ingeniousness of locals who adapted plantations of rice to the uneven coastlines of Noto.
Next, you visit the Wajima Morning Market, one of Japan’s largest morning markets. It is known for its local produce and very friendly local merchants who may strike up a conversation with you! You will then have full French course lunch featuring local ingredients at the One Michelin Star Restaurant L’Atelier de Noto.
After lunch, you will visit the rocky coast of the Sea of Japan where you can enjoy one of its breathtaking wonders: the Ganmon Cave. Formed by water eroding the nearby rock, the sea cave has a unique photogenic shape.
Lastly, you will visit one of the only three sand highways in the world in Chirihama Beach. If the timing is right you’ll enjoy a memorable sunset.
