Noto Peninsula Halal Explorer
Noto is one of the most remote parts of mainland Japan. Its first and most famous chronicler was Ōtomo no Yakamochi (大伴家持), an 8th century poet and bureaucrat best known for compiling a large part of the Man'yoshu, Japan's first anthology of poems. In 745, he was appointed governor of Etchu Province (today's Toyama (prefecture) | Toyama), and the poems he wrote during his six-year stay often lament the harshness of his remote posting far away from the splendors of the capital:
- 志雄路からただ越え来れば羽咋の海朝凪したり船梶もがも
- From the Shiwo Road across the mountains to the morning calm of the sea at Hakui|Hakuhi — I wish I had a boat! (Man'yoshu 17/4025)
- 妹に逢はず久しくなりぬ饒石川きよき瀬ごとに水占はへてな
- Away from my wife for so long -- the clear rapids of Ishikawa shall tell my fortune (Man'yoshu 17/4028)
To this day the west coast, battered continuously by the harsh Sea of Japan, is rugged and thinly populated by scattered fishing villages, while the more sheltered east coast around Nanao Bay houses the bulk of the population.
In March 2007, Noto was hit by a strong earthquake that caused significant damage to the northern part of the peninsula, particularly Wajima.
