Due to the 1.1.24 Noto Earthquake, all tours and activities on the Noto Peninsula have been suspended. The area has been heavily damaged, and many sightseeing spots have been impacted and some simply and purely destroyed. While many people left to other prefectures, remaining people and volunteers from all around Japan have been working hard on not just fixing, but building a new Noto, exploiting the dynamic of reconstruction to adapt it to the challenges it was facing even before the earthquake.
Furthermore, disastrous floods have thrown a spanner in the works, causing even greater damages than the earthquake in some areas. While I previously expected to restart activity in the area from 2025, it is now certain it will be another year with no tour organised there. Depending on works progress, 2026 will hopefully be a good year to welcome visitors to the splendors of the Noto Peninsula.
