Noto Peninsula – Sea of Japan

Typical Sea of Japan scenery around the south-west side of the Noto Peninsular at a place called Ganmon (巌門) in Ishikawa Prefecture. Ganmon features in a woodblock print by the master artisan Ando Hiroshige.  I can’t wait to explore more of the peninsular on my bicylce once the weather warms up!

The Hirohige woodblock print of Ganmon.
A sea cucumber was the only creature we could find in the rockpools.
