Noto Province, Ancient province in northern Ishikawa, Japan
The Noto Province extended across the Noto Peninsula, spanning 80 kilometers into the Sea of Japan with mountains and coastal regions.
The territory emerged as an independent province in 718 when four districts separated from Echizen Province, later merging with Etchu in 741 and regaining independence in 757.
The region maintains traditional practices of agriculture in terraced rice fields, pearl diving activities, and the creation of decorated lacquerware products.
The province territory lies within modern Ishikawa Prefecture, divided into three sections: Kuchi-Noto in the south, Naka-Noto in the middle, and Oku-Noto in the north.
Noto Peninsula received recognition in 2011 as part of Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems for preserving traditional farming methods.
