Noto, Coastal town in Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan

Noto extends along the northeastern coastline of Noto Peninsula, with 273 square kilometers of land facing the Sea of Japan on two sides.

The town of Noto underwent a significant administrative reorganization in 2005 when it merged with Yanagida village and Uchiura town into a new municipality.

The Abare Festival stands as a central celebration in Noto, while the Mawaki Jomon archaeological site reveals early human settlements in this region.

The town maintains six elementary schools and four middle schools under local administration, plus one prefectural high school for education needs.

A large squid statue marks the townscape, funded through COVID-19 relief money, representing the maritime connection of this coastal community.
