Kahoku district, Administrative district in Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan
Kahoku is an administrative district in Ishikawa Prefecture comprising two towns along the Sea of Japan coast. The area contains a mix of residential neighborhoods, farmland, and coastal settlements spread across its landscape.
The district was established in 1878 and underwent major reorganization when three towns merged to form a single city in 2004. This consolidation created the administrative structure that exists today.
The district maintains traditional Japanese practices through local festivals and ceremonies in both Tsubata and Uchinada municipalities.
The best time to visit depends on your interests, as the coast offers activities year-round while the inland areas have seasonal agricultural activity. The region is accessible by local transport and easy to navigate.
The area has a notable coastal lagoon where a local river meets the sea, creating distinctive tidal landscapes and water zones. This meeting point of fresh and salt water draws different waterbird species, offering chances to observe dynamic water ecosystems.
