It is a town with a beautiful natural landscape with two oceans: Sotoura on the rough reef coast (Japan Sea side) and Uchiura on the calm sandy beach (Toyama Bay side). There are still streets that make you feel the original scenery of Japan. There are many unique cultures that were nurtured in the rich Satoyama Satoumi, and local cultures such as “Festival Culture” symbolized by the “Oku-Noto Suzu Autumn Festival and Yobare” and the Agricultural rite “Ae-no-koto” are now living. Rooted traditional industries such as Agehama method salt production, charcoal grilling, Suzu-yaki, and the seven wheels using diatomaceous earth have been handed down carefully, and the rich Satoyama Satoumi, including these traditional industries and agricultural rituals, was designated as Noto Satoyama Satokai in 2011. In 2014, it was recognized as Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems (GIAHS). In addition, the promotion of a human resource development project (Noto Satoyama Satoumi Meister) for utilizing the environment of Satoyama-Satoumi in cooperation with Kanazawa University for the promotion of urban-rural communities was awarded the Platinum Award in 2015. Various efforts such as being certified as a “SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) Future City” in the year have been evaluated. △Sotoumi in the twilight △ Satoyama rice terraces △Scenery of deep-fried beach salt making In Suzu, there are many “village festivals” that celebrate the harvest of grains in each village throughout the seasons. Especially in the autumn season, the autumn festivals are held in many villages in Suzu every day for about 50 days from early September to late October. In the autumn festivals, we will carry “Kiriko” as the light of the shrine. Kiriko is said to have more than 100 in Suzu. When it comes to festivals, there is a custom called Yobare, where the master behaves and drinks at home to help Kiriko's bearers work hard. In Suzu City, Yobare is still held at almost all festivals, and it serves relatives and friends with festival dishes. In Suzu, the original Japanese hospitality culture remains. This “Oku-Noto Suzu Autumn Festival and Yobare” won the 19th “Furusato Event Grand Prize” by the Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications. In 2015, the “Landing peninsula Noto: Kiriko Festival of Enthusiasm” was certified as a Japanese Heritage, and the festival culture of Oku-Noto Suzu is highlighted. Suzu has beautiful “Satoyama Satoumi”, rich “food”, and most important “people”. It is a town where you can learn about Japanese festivals and the origins of food culture. △Kirico gathering in the shrine △ Yobare △ Kiriko in operation 4 Satoumi of Suzu Sotoura and Uchiura In Suzu, the west coast where the reefs are located is called Sotoura, and the east coast with many sandy beaches is called Uchiura. This contrasting two landscapes are often compared to men and women. The opposite is true: Sotoura is an uplifting beach (born by raising the ground), and Uchiura is a sinking beach (born by rising sea level). In Sotoura, there are many cliffs such as Rokkozaki, which includes a series of rock formations caused by sea erosion and volcanic rocks that have cooled and hardened magma. In winter, the stormy waves from Siberia receive the cold wave of waves, and the surf blossoms that turn into white bubbles cover the coast. This seasonal wind is prevented by setting up a Magaki in villages along the coast. On the other hand, Uchiura facing Toyama Bay is a sandy beach with a gentle curve. Plants grow up to the beach, followed by a quiet sea and gentle scenery. The border between Uchiura and Sotoura is Cape Suzu (Kongozaki). On a clear day, you can see Sado Island in the distance. △Sotoura side where the reef continues △Nie coast △ Uchiura side where sandy beach continues (the Sotoura side) Two ocean currents nurture a rich fishing ground The Noto Peninsula, shaped like a sickle that protrudes into the sea, has been greatly influenced by two currents: the Liman Current (cold current) and the Tsushima Current (warm current). The Liman Current, cooled in the North Sea and moving south along the Eurasian Continent. The Tsushima Current, which is separated from the Kuroshio Current that flows through the Pacific Ocean and relaxes near the equator, and moves north through the Sea of Japan. These two ocean currents meet off the coast of Noto Peninsula. The offshore of Noto Peninsula is abundant in fish species due to the warm and cold currents. As the ocean current hits the peninsula, an overcurrent occurs and migratory fish stay, so it can be caught in big catches. In Uchiura, we aim for this migratory fish and lay a stationary net. Typical examples are spring sawara, horse mackerel and winter yellowtail. Sayori boat fishing that tells spring. Squid fishing from May to July. In June, flying fish are caught, and "Agodashi" is a food that supports Noto's food. Speaking of summer fish in Hokuriku, it is famous for scallops (a high-class fish pheasant) and Kozokura (under 500g of baby babies), but it also catches abalone and tuna. Also, among the rock oysters, the “Golden rock oyster” that shines golden on the seabed is a valuable ingredient that can only be caught off Suzu. In the fall, barracuda and mackerel reach the season, and the bottom fishnet fishing will be lifted, so you can catch the bottom fish such as barberry, grouper, sweet shrimp, and gas shrimp. On November 6th, crab fishing will also be lifted. From December to mid-February, cod and anglers will be on the market.

Take the Liman Current and go to the coast of Kitakyushu from the eastern side of the Korean peninsula through Tsushima and Iki. If I went offshore and got on the Tsushima Current, I was able to get to Izumo, Wakasa and Hokuriku without difficulty. During the Kofun-Nara period, people from the Korean peninsula actively visited the Noto peninsula to convey continental culture such as steelmaking and shipbuilding. In 713, people from the Hon Hai country, who stood across the continental coast across the Sea of Japan, visited the Noto Peninsula. In Fura (Shika- machi) facing Sotoura, south of Suzu, a “guest house” (a facility like a consulate) was created by Emperor Kanmu. The route between Noto Fukura and Poshet Bay in the Bokkai Sea was connected by land to the Bokkai capital, Kamigyo Longsenfu, and the Tang Dynasty, Changan. Envoys were dispatched 34 times from Hon Hai country and 14 times from Japan. Many merchants, monks, and international students would have taken this ship and moved back and forth between the archipelago and the continent. The prosperity of Suzu ware, the activity of the Kitamae ship Suzu ware started in the middle of the 12th century. The route connecting Kyoto (Wakasa Bay) and remote areas has developed, and the route has been expanded to expand into one quarter of Japan. A kiln was built in Wakayamasho, which was the largest manor in Noto, and it was mainly made of firewood, and sardine by reduced roasting (the iron was blackened and hardened when it was baked before supplying oxygen). I baked daily pottery. In the Edo period, Kitamae ships are active on the Sea of Japan. From Osaka, cotton or liquor, etc. are piled up, and salt, stone, raw wax, etc. are purchased from the coast of the Seto Inland Sea, going to Hokkaido while selling at the port of the Sea of Japan (descent). In Hokkaido, we bought marine products such as herring, kelp and salmon, loaded rice at the port of the Sea of Japan, and sold them in the Seto Inland Sea and Osaka (up). It is said that there was a profit of about 1,000 cars (about 100 million yen) on one route of going down and going up. In Suzu, marine merchants such as Saburoemon Kishida (Shoin) and Kanbei Izumiya (Iida) were also active.

From a long time ago, as a migrant during the agricultural off-season, farmer men were devoted to making sake over a half- year of winter. Noto Toji is from Suzu, especially from Uedo, Horyu and Wakayama. Begins in the middle of Edo. Noto, Nanbu, Echigo and Tajima are counted Japanese four great Toji. The technology of Noto Toji has a high reputation, and they went to Ecchu, Kaga, Omi, and after Meiji Restoration, they went to Mie, Aichi and Shizuoka. In the Taisho period, they moved to Hokkaido, Karafuto and Manshu. In 1936, there was a record that about 4,000 Noto Tojis worked as migrant. Noto Toji, who was scattered all over the country, brought home souvenirs in March over the winter. Bichu Guwa, Ladder Bag, New rice varieties, Sweet potatoes, etc.
