Visit during late afternoon for golden hour light reflecting off the wet sand, or time it with low tide when the driving surface is firmest and widest. Summer evenings offer stunning sunsets over the Sea of Japan.

Om
Hurtige fakta: Du kan køre din egen bil helt ud langs kystlinjen, hvor bølgerne nogle gange slår kun få meter fra dine dæk, et af kun få steder i Japan, hvor strandkørsel er lovligt. Den 8 kilometer lange strækning af hårdpakket sand mellem skoven og Japanhavet har været en offentlig vej siden 1965, som er gratis for alle at bruge.
Højdepunkter: Ved lavvande bliver sandet så fast, at selv en kompakt sedan kan køre 50 km/t, mens saltvandstågen lægger sig på forruden. Hold ind hvor som helst langs den 8 kilometer lange strækning, smid bagklappen op, og hold en hel strandpicnic med bilens stereo kørende, mens bølgerne bryder få skridt væk.
Insidertips
- Rent a convertible or a car with a sunroof from Kanazawa Station for the full experience, available from several rental agencies.
- Check the tide tables before going: plan your drive within 2 hours before and after low tide for the firmest, widest driving surface.
- Bring a pair of binoculars to spot the Noto Peninsula's birdlife from the beach parking areas.
- Avoid weekends in August when local crowds peak; a weekday morning offers a nearly empty shoreline.
