    Ishikawa Kahoku-gun Uchinadamachi Daigaku 1- Miyasaka
    This Uchinada Town landmark is also known as the Uchinada Bridge. The design of the 344-meter-long cable-stayed bridge was inspired by yukuzuri, a traditional technique and symbol of winter in the Hokuriku region in which ropes are arranged around trees to protect them from heavy snows. The elegant bridge is a sight to behold even in the daytime, but it is at night when visitors are particularly recommended to check it out. From sunset to 9:00 p. m., the bridge is lit up, wrapping the area in a romantic atmosphere. Because of its beauty, it is a perfect date destination, and the bridge has also been nominated for inclusion in the Lover’s Sanctuary Project as one of the most powerful love spots in the country.

    Ishikawa Hakui-gun Shikamachi Machi 30-63
    A garden considered to represent Noto’s gardening culture. Members of the mighty Taira family once served as the headsmen of 13 villages under the direct control of the Tokugawa shogunate government. The family is said to have descended from the chief vassal of the Hatakeyama clan, whose members served as the governors of Noto Province, and they possessed a vast, 20,000-square-meter estate. This famous shoin-style garden was designed for enjoying the view of a central pond from the estate and was built in the mid-Edo period and bears aspects of both Muromachi period and Edo period gardening styles. One of the most celebrated private house Japanese gardens in the Noto area, it has been designated a Prefectural Place of Scenic Beauty due to its excellently preserved condition.

    この平家は、木曾義仲に敗れて、この地の落ち延びた平家の末裔。 能登国の守護畠山氏の重臣の一人、平式部大夫の子孫と伝えられ、江戸時代には天領の大庄屋を勤めた。屋敷から眺める池泉観賞式の書院庭園で、池泉と四季を通じて青苔に覆われた築山からなる枯淡静寂のたたずまいである。敷地は、南西から東南に面した鉤形になっており、現存する書院とともに、江戸中期における天領大庄屋時代の面影を偲ぶに足る格式を伝え、能登地...

    Ishikawa Hakui-gun Shikamachi Fukurako
    This lighthouse stands on a precipitous cliff called known as Hiyoriyama. The lighthouse’ origins are said to stretch back to 1608 when a man called Hino Sukenobu who lived in Fukura would light bonfires at night to guide ships operating on the dark sea. The current, extant lighthouse was built in 1876. A stone-paved path leads to the lighthouse, and an old-fashioned atmosphere still hangs in the air over the nearby fishing port. The square, five-meter-tall, three-story wooden lighthouse is Japan’s oldest extant wooden lighthouse. The lighthouse is specially illuminated at night in the summer and winter.

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.
