Kahoku, Coastal city in Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan
Kahoku stretches between mountains and the Sea of Japan, encompassing 64 square kilometers of varied terrain including rivers, lagoons, and agricultural fields.
The city formed in 2004 through the consolidation of three separate towns: Takamatsu, Nanatsuka, and Unoke, which were previously part of Kaga Province.
The Kamiyamada Shell Mound, designated as a National Historic Site, contains archaeological materials that document ancient settlements in the region.
The West Japan Railway Company serves Kahoku through the Nanao Line with three stations: Unoke, Yokoyama, and Takamatsu for connections to Kanazawa.
The Kahoku Lagoon, fed by the Unoke River in the southern part of the city, creates a distinct ecosystem between the mountains and the sea.
