The Chirihama Beach Drive is a unique attraction at the western base of the Noto Peninsula. It is an eight kilometer stretch of beach along the Sea of Japan that is open to private vehicles, allowing people to take a short ride right along the water's edge. Traffic runs in both directions, and there is no charge for driving on the beach. As well as enjoying the unique experience of driving along a beach, many people park their cars out of the way and wade out into the water to collect seashells. A number of food stalls at the southern end of the beach sell the local specialties of grilled clams and grilled turban shells. The stalls close for the winter from early December to mid March. Cars drive along the beach and people collect seashells in the water Any Questions? Ask them in our question forum.
