    The mid-air lookout Skybird is a new landmark for Noto Peninsula, located in the Sanctuary Cape at the northernmost tip of Noto Peninsula—one of the Japan’s Big Three Power Spots. The lookout ventures roughly 9.5 meters out from the cliff, which may instill some fear but gives a sense that you are in mid-air, making it popular with younger tourists. The promenade proceeds from the lookout, so you can take a peaceful stroll while gazing at the ocean.

Long, thin Ishikawa prefecture runs along the Sea of Japan up into Noto Peninsula. Highlights of the seaside towns lining the west coast include Kanazawa, often described as a "Little Kyoto" thanks to its old wooden tea houses and geisha culture as well as its picturesque Japanese garden, Kenroku-en.
