Suzu, Coastal city on Noto Peninsula, Japan

Suzu is a coastal city on the northeastern tip of the Noto Peninsula in Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan. The sea surrounds the area on three sides and shapes its geography and climate.

The city formed on July 15, 1954, through the merger of one town and fourteen villages. Earthquakes in 2023 and 2024 damaged many buildings and marked the recent history of the area.

The name comes from an old Shinto shrine in the Awazu district, mentioned in records from 713 AD. Fishermen and craftspeople shape daily life in the coastal villages, where many families have lived from the sea for generations.

Bus routes connect the city with surrounding areas since the closure of the Noto Railway in 2005. Visitors should check the availability of transport in advance, as connections in remote areas are limited.

The earthquakes in early 2024 measured up to 6.5 on the Japanese scale and forced many residents to leave their homes. Local communities have since worked on rebuilding and strengthening traditional structures.
