Cycling in Noto PeninsulaIn Noto Peninsula, the coastline of peninsula which faces Japan Sea is called 'Soto-ura' (the outside inlet) and the coastline which faces Toyama pref. is called 'Uchi-ura' (the inside inlet). A rough coastline follows 'Soto-ura'. As for 'Uchi-ura', the coastline by which a wave is quiet follows. Recommended course:When you cycle around Noto peninsula, start from Kanazawa City and go along coastline clockwise if possible. Kanazawa city - Hakui cityRun through Route 249 to Shika town, and use a prefectural road from there. Because the prefectural road runs along the coastline, traffic is small and the region is dotted with the beautiful place of the scene as well. It is required to enter Route 249 for a while at Togi town and then go into the prefectural road again. Run through Route 249 from Monzen town to Wajima City. Wajima City - RokkosakiRun through Route 249, and run through the prefectural road on the way from Suzu city. Because this route is near the coastline, the sea can be seen nearby. The half of this section is going up and down and the other half is flat. Rokkosaki - Noto townAfter running about 30 Km from Rokkosaki along the coastline, the prefectural road joins Route 249. Because flat road continues, you can run smoothly. At Uchiura town, go through the prefectural road again. Noto town - Nanao cityRun through Route No.249 in a straight line. From Noto town to Anamizu town, run through inland part. From Anamizu town to Nanao city, run along coastline. You should be careful because traffic increases when you go into Nanao City. Nanao City - Himi CityRide a bike along the beach on R160 after passing through the downtown of Nanao City. Then there is ups and downs about 10km, but basically not so hard.
