Sosogi Coast - Sosogi Coast

Japanese: 曾々木海岸 - そそぎかいがん

This coast is located in the center of the northern coast of Noto Peninsula in Ishikawa Prefecture. It stretches for about 2 km from the mouth of the Machinogawa River in the northeast of Wajima City to Tarumi Falls near the border with Suzu City. Also known as "Noto's Oyashirazu," this scenic spot and natural monument features cliffs of rhyolite overlooking the Sea of Japan, sea caves and oddly shaped rocks such as Mado-iwa and Tarumi Falls. The Tokikuni family, a wealthy farmer from the Edo period, lived nearby. It is a base for tourism in Noto, and inns stand along the former salt fields. It belongs to the Noto Peninsula Quasi-National Park.
