Suzu, Coastal city on Noto Peninsula, Japan

Suzu extends across the northeastern point of the Noto Peninsula, with the Sea of Japan surrounding three sides of its 247 square kilometers territory.

The city formed on July 15, 1954, through the consolidation of one town and fourteen villages, establishing a new administrative structure in Ishikawa Prefecture.

The name Suzu traces back to an ancient Shinto shrine in the Awazu district, with written records dating to the Nara period in 713 AD.

The city maintains seven elementary schools, four middle schools, and one high school, connected by bus routes since the closure of Noto Railway in 2005.

In 2023 and 2024, the region experienced significant earthquakes, with the January 2024 event measuring 6.5 on the Japanese scale, affecting numerous structures.
