2026 Shika Travel Guide: must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transport & travel experiences (updated in January)

#100 Travel Style I stopped here while sightseeing on the Noto Peninsula. It was on the way to the coast line. Apparently the bench itself was restored due to aging. It must be very beautiful at dusk. The wooden bench, certified by Guinness in 1987, is the longest in the world! However, if you want to watch the sun set here, it will take about an hour to get there if you stay overnight in Nanao, Wakura Onsen, or Wajima. When I visited, it was neither hot nor cold, and the weather was very comfortable. #0 yen trip #Noto Peninsula #World's longest bench

Visited March 2023 *Royal Hotel Noto This hotel, located on Ishikawa Prefecture's Noto Peninsula, offers the opportunity to enjoy Shiga no Sato Onsen. ♨️ There are two baths: a large communal bath and an open-air bath. Both are natural hot springs. ✨ We were able to relax and enjoy ourselves. 😊 They also offer day-trip baths and accept group tours, so it was quite crowded that day, but I'm glad we had a great time. ☺️ #HotSprings #ShigaNoSatoOnsen #RoyalHotelNoto

Located on the western coast of the Noto Peninsula in Shika Town, "Ganmon Cave" is a massive sea cave carved out by the rough waves of the Sea of Japan over countless years.

Inside the cave, the cool and tranquil environment is filled with the echoing sound of waves from outside, creating a fantastical space.

The "World's Longest Bench" in Shika Town, Ishikawa Prefecture, lives up to its name with a total length of 460.9 meters. This bench, which has been certified by the Guinness World Records, is located along Masuhoura Beach on the west coast of the Noto Peninsula and is popular as a spectacular spot overlooking the Sea of ​​Japan.

As you walk along the seaside promenade, you will come across "Yoshitsune's Boat Hiding Place," where seawater flows into a deep valley. The rough waves of the Sea of ​​Japan crash against the rocky cliffs, creating splashes. It may have been a suitable cove to hide from pursuers. The place where the sign stands offers the best view of the whole place. There is also a footpath that leads down from there, but if the wind is strong, you might fall off the cliff, which is scary... This is the cove where Yoshitsune and Benkei are said to have hid their boat in when they were fleeing from their brother Yoritomo's pursuers. #0yentravel #Travelwithme #NotoPeninsula #IshikawaTrip #Yoshitsune
