If you like inns, you should visit one of Japan's most spectacular hot spring inns ♨️ Lamp no Yado, located at the very tip of the Noto Peninsula in Ishikawa ♪ This inn is located on a cliff that used to be only accessible by boat, giving it a sense of remoteness. From the inn, you can enjoy a spectacular view of the Sea of ​​Japan without any obstructions! There is an open-air bath with an ocean view, as well as an infinity pool ♪ The food is also excellent, allowing you to fully enjoy the bounty of Hokuriku 🥢 I definitely want to go back! #luxuryhotel #hotelwithspectacles #hotspringryokan #hotspring

I went to "Tarumi Falls" in Wajima City, Ishikawa Prefecture (((((((っ･ω･)っ A rare waterfall with a drop of 35m that falls directly from the mountain to the sea٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶ It is also known as "Fukiage Falls" and on days when the strong sea breeze blows in the harsh winter, the waterfall defies gravity and starts to rise towards the sky, and sometimes shoots up into the sky as it isΣ( °-° )Wow The sea is so clear that you can see the bottom of the sea and it's so beautiful✿ﾟ❀.(*´▽`*)❀.ﾟ✿ 🏍Tarumi Falls🏍 Address: Sonogi, Machino-cho, Wajima City, Ishikawa Prefecture Opening hours: 24 hours #Domestic travel#Ishikawa #Ishikawa Prefecture #Ishikawa trip #Ishikawa sightseeing #Ishikawa spot #Tarumi Falls #Waterfall #Waterfall tour

Since the Art Triennale in Echigo-Tsumari in 2000, regional art festivals have successfully blossomed all over Japan. This year, they are even more colorful, with Art Triennale taking place in various parts of Japan and even in Taiwan. This year's Okunoto International Art Festival is one of the flowers blooming everywhere, and it is also the fourth art festival he has curated. Although there are art festivals worth seeing everywhere in Japan, I particularly like to appreciate the ones curated by Tomio Kitagawa, because I was moved by his original concept of curating Echigo. He hopes to use art to reconnect people with each other, people with nature, people with the land, and the concept of sustainable living in the mountains and seas. Compared to Echigo-Tsumari, Setouchi and Northern Alps, Oku-Noto has the best transportation arrangements. The organizers have arranged four different bus tour routes, departing from Suzu, to visit 37 works, divided into two shifts in the morning and afternoon, which means that all the works can be visited in just two days (except for performing arts projects). As a traveler, planning this trip was much easier than the past three, and it would only take two days. The coastline of Noto Peninsula is a holiday paradise. If you drive around, you can get to know the peninsula more deeply. Unfortunately, this time I mainly used public transportation. After participating in a two-day bus tour, I couldn’t find a homestay to rent, so I had to leave Suzu and return to Kanazawa in a hurry. I only participated in the art festival and visited Suzu and Noto Peninsula in a cursory manner. It was a pity. Among the 37 works, some are very impressive. The coastline of the Noto Peninsula is very beautiful. For someone like me who loves the coastline and the ocean, it feels wonderful to look for land art along the coastline. Under such a magnificent sea and sky, artist Takashi Fukasawa built a torii with garbage from the coast, telling how humans are destroying our own homes. This beach house is also a creative space! When I first stopped the car, I saw a small house by the sea and thought I could use it for my creations. I walked into the house and looked at the sea from the window. I was completely attracted by the beautiful Sea of ​​Japan. Then I saw a model of a small house made of shells in a small corner of the house. I began to admire it! Walking outside and taking a closer look, it turns out that Japanese artist Murao used thousands of shells and plaster powder to transform this cottage into a shell house overlooking the sea. It is all handmade, a very beautiful creative landscape! We came to Mitsuke Coast, a resort on the Noto Peninsula. Mitsuke Island is a small island about 500 meters from the coast. The Japanese piled up stone roads for tourists to walk to the island. This small stone road looks like it was built artificially, but in geography there is also a similar landform called a sandbar. Chinese artist Liu Jianhua used coastal garbage to imitate the topography of the island sandbar and created Drifting landscape. On the Awazu Beach on the east coast of the Noto Peninsula, there is a work by Japanese artist Masanori Koyama called "The Floating God at the End". In the Noto Peninsula, whales and old ships are considered auspicious objects, and the artist combined the two in his creation. The author used old ships and wood carvings to symbolize whales, and the entire creation symbolizes Japanese shrines and torii gates. The author placed a wooden sculpture of a mermaid inside the bow of the boat. The author extended the mermaid's hair all the way to the beach. When I turned around at the bow to take a look, I was really a little scared. #Japan #Overseas Travel #Art Festival #Noto Peninsula #Return to the Countryside #Suzu #Art Journey

The shrine's goshuin book also has an adorable limited-edition design. 🌊【Must-Visit Beach Stations】 1️⃣JR Shioya Station (Kobe City, Hyogo) Dubbed "the station closest to the sea," you can see Awaji Island right from the platform! Best visited at sunset. The station's ocean-view café is super romantic. 2️⃣Old Noto Railway Iida Station Ruins (Suzu City, Ishikawa) Abandoned tracks extending straight into the Sea of Japan, paired with the sound of shell wind chimes – incredibly soothing. 🚞【Railway Enthusiast Paradise】 1️⃣Railway Museum (Saitama City) Limited-edition train models + actual train displays – even my girlfriend said it was more fun than expected! The second-floor ekiben exhibit will make your mouth water... 2️⃣JR Kushimoto Station (Kushimoto Town, Wakayama) Vibrant blue seas against red station signs, with a popular local whale-shaped monument right in front. Don't forget to grab some Kushimoto taiyaki as souvenirs. 🍓【Sweet Picking Experience】 Miura Strawberry Farm (Bungo-Ono City, Oita) Strawberry freedom without going to Hokkaido!

Noto Peninsula is a park that mainly features the sea cliff scenery on the northwest coast of the peninsula, commonly known as Sotoura, and the submerged coastal scenery on the southeast coast, known as Uchiura. It is peaceful and quiet, and time flows slowly everywhere. The scenery of the waves crashing against the reefs is just like the Sea of ​​Japan. If you go further, you will find Rokkozaki Lighthouse. This is the tip of the Noto Peninsula. It is about a 10-minute walk from the parking lot of "Roadside Station Noroi". A beautiful panorama of both the sky and the sea spreads out before you. A magnificent view!! I would like to watch the sunset from here. #0 yen trip #Noto Peninsula #Rokkozaki Lighthouse #Tips of the Noto Peninsula #Travel with me

#Travelingwithme Since we came all the way to Ishikawa Prefecture, we decided to go further, so we went to Rokkozaki Lighthouse✨We went there during the day, but apparently it's a romantic spot where you can see the sunrise over the sea and the sunset over the sea😌💗You can reach it by climbing a fairly steep slope from the parking lot! It's very hot in the summer, so it's best to bring a parasol or a hat🥵The white lighthouse was designed by an Englishman during the Meiji period! You can also see a sea shelf called Senjojiki at the bottom of the cliff😊 📍 Spot introduction━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Location: Rokkozaki LighthouseAccess: I-51, Noroicho, Suzu City, Ishikawa PrefectureCharacteristics: The tip of the Noto Peninsula #Rokkozaki #IshikawaTourism #Noto #NotoPeninsula #DomesticTravel
