Speaking of Ishikawa Prefecture, Little Kyoto Kanazawa is famous as a tourist destination, and the city is always crowded with people because it is easily accessible from Tokyo in about two and a half hours by using the Shinkansen. However, there are many places in Ishikawa prefecture other than Kanazawa that I would like to visit. This time, I made a plan to go around the Noto Peninsula in autumn to experience the old-fashioned scenery and the latest spots by going north from Kanazawa to Noto.

A new place of relaxation

The first place I visited was Ogimachi, where the Ogi fishing port boasts one of the largest squid landings in Japan. The mall with a squid station opened here in June this year. In the facility building facing Kuju Bay, objects and exhibition materials on the theme of squid fishing are lined up, and you can learn about the history of squid fishing in small trees and the squid fishing boats that you seemed to know but did not know. be able to. In addition, the restaurant inside the building is said to offer a feast using fresh local Noto vegetables and small squid from the boat. From the pier in front of you, there is also a pleasure boat that can take a 40-minute tour of Kuju Bay, which is one of the 100 Landscapes of Japan, and it will be a new spot in Noto that will be crowded with tourists on weekends. There is. The main purpose of coming to Noto this time was to visit this "Squid Station Tsukuru Mall".

This is because this "Squid Station Tsukuru Mall" is a spot that we definitely recommend to those who want to enjoy marine leisure in Noto. In addition to the natural environment that is ideal for enjoying paddle sports such as kayaking and SUP in the calm ninety-nine bays throughout the year, the mall with squid station has a leisure building in addition to the one introduced above. It is annexed, and those who do not have a kayak or SUP can rent it here. As soon as you receive the lecture, you can go to Kuju Bay. Inexperienced people can also apply for a guide, so you can start with peace of mind. This time I brought in SUP, so I decided to rent a changing room and shower.

In a calm bay
Float SUP

I changed my clothes at "Squid Station Tsukuru Mall", and when I was ready to go out to the bay with SUP, I got out of the slope next to the squid fishing boat and started rowing SUP. It is so calm that you can't think of it as the sea, and there are almost no waves compared to Lake Biwa. Paddle paddles to slide on the water. In the clear Sea of Japan, just by eliminating the waves, the seaweed that grows from the seabed can be seen astonishingly deep, and you can clearly see the fish swimming in the water.

Aim for the striped pattern

It's fun enough just to look at the fish swimming comfortably from the top of the SUP board, but for this reason I also bring a fishing rod and fishing tackle firmly, so I'd like to have the fish play a little, so in spec.4 I decided to wear an SRA tip and explore the seabed. If you throw a lure at the point where the tide hits around the island, the line will come out more and more from the reel. That should be it, the rias-style ninety-nine bay is a small bay, but it is said that the water depth is as high as 25 m in the deep part.

After repeating the cast several times, I gradually became able to catch the seabed, albeit somehow, from the feeling of hitting an underwater lure, such as rocky areas and points where seaweed grows. While imagining a fish that I haven't seen yet, I carefully searched for a good point, and atari pulled the rod tip into the water without any warning. It took? !! I hurriedly wind the line. Naturally, the tension goes up in the bargaining that begins.

休むことなく巻き続けると縞模様のボディがだんだんと近づいてくる。アオハタ!?と勝利を確信した一瞬の気の緩みで、かかっていた針が外れてしまい、シマシマはまた海の底深くへ消えていった。目の前で取り逃がしてしまったのが悔やまれ、この湾の海底に潜んでいるアオハタに届けとばかりに同じようなポイントで探った結果、海から上がる頃には数匹のアオハタを連れて港に戻ることができた。

Nostalgic shout

Since I drove to the Noto Peninsula, I visited Wajima Morning Market, one of Japan's three major morning markets, which I've always wanted to visit. A number of tents line up on both sides of the maintained street, and local mothers and small, crooked grandmas have begun preparing to open in their respective locations before 8 am. There are various things on the shelves. Not only fresh fish raised at Wajima Port, but also homemade overnight dried fish and local crafts. When I was walking down the street, it was natural for old shops to call out to tourists walking down the street, such as "Look at this, brother" and "Dry it overnight I made". It seemed fresh to go around, probably because I had less chance to hear it in this era.

Autumn taste hunting

On the way back from Kuju Bay, I found out that there are many chestnut gardens on the way to the nearest interchange, so I went to Hashimoto Kurien, which I made a reservation by phone yesterday, to pick up chestnuts that I had no experience with and experience autumn. I decided to do it. From the road with good visibility, you can see chestnut trees on your right and left, and it's about time for your destination. By the way, I found a signboard and arrived safely. Mr. Hashimoto, the owner who has a bucket and tongs, explained how to pick up chestnuts carefully while chatting with each other.

According to Mr. Hashimoto, nearly 20 varieties of chestnuts are planted on this vast site. If you look closely at the chestnuts you picked up after hearing that, you will notice that there are differences in size, shape, and color. This Hashimoto chestnut garden is planted from early to late varieties, so you can hunt for taste for a little longer than others. When I was absorbed in picking up chestnuts, the time passed so quickly that I noticed that there were enough delicious chestnut piles to take home as souvenirs.

In front of nature
Calm down

When it comes to visiting Noto, there are still many places I would like to introduce. Rocky areas are often seen along the coast of the Sea of Japan, but suddenly there is only one large single rock, Mitsukejima, and the longest bench in the world overlooking the endless horizon with the sea breeze all over. There are places where people can relax in front of the quiet scenery and spend a relaxing time, such as Shiroyone Senmaida, where the rice fields dyed in the setting sun are superb. It feels like a great location for a busy daily break. This visit was a mild autumn, but I'm sure I can feel the goodness of Noto, which is simple and warm even in the cold winter, soI would like to choose a different season next time.

Memo
This time, there were many situations where I could catch underneath even in SUP fishing, so I chose a soft SRA tip with a riding tone. Light jigging hooked not only the grouper but also the horse mackerel.
