Tsukumo Bay
九十九湾
A winding, sawtooth-shaped chain of small coves on the Uchiura coast, known as “Japan’s ria coast,” with glass-bottom boat tours.
Tsukumo Bay in Ogi, Noto Town, is a classic drowned-valley coastline, named after the dozens of large and small inlets that wind through it. Its waters are calm, and it is listed among Japan’s 100 Scenic Views. Sightseeing boats with windows in the hull let you watch fish swimming below the surface on a tour of about 30 minutes. On shore, the Tsukumo Bay Park has walking trails and an undersea park. Ogi Port is one of Japan’s leading squid-fishing ports, so be sure to try “Ogi fresh squid.” It takes about 40–60 minutes by car from Suzu or Wakura Onsen.
