Noto Peninsula reconstruction and recovery efforts

Overview

Recovery efforts in the Noto region of Ishikawa Prefecture are progressing through cultural engagement and economic revitalization initiatives. In mid-August, singer Sayuri Ishikawa, acting as a Special Reconstruction Support Ambassador, performed at the Gozare Festival in Noto Town to encourage residents affected by previous disasters.

By late August, reconstruction focus expanded toward tourism and the preservation of local traditions. The ‘Go, walk with Noto – Hope Tourism Project’ was launched by Trip.com to stimulate the local economy, involving volunteer activities and special accommodation plans. While community-led efforts support cultural heritage like the Noto Kiriko Festival, local businesses continue to face significant hurdles. For instance, the Matsunami Shuzo brewery is operating from a temporary location and anticipates that full reconstruction of its facilities may take at least two more years due to infrastructure and water source issues.
