There people living sustainable lifestyles abound, and the peninsula&#8217;s distinctive heritage is passed on to today, such as rice terraces carved out of the hillsides that stretch right down to the sea, cuisine featuring ancient fermentation techniques, Wajima lacquerware (a traditional craftsmanship known in the West as &#8220;<span class=\"xn-location\">Japan<\/span>&#8220;), and UNESCO World Agriculture Heritage. Especially worth mentioning are the many traditional festivals held throughout the peninsula. Monumental parade floats called &#8220;Kiriko&#8221; are massive towers carried by groups of men from noon until night in dynamic processions full of energy.<\/p>\n<p>In a fishing village near the main resort town of Wakura Onsen is held a festival called the Issaki-Houtou-Sai, where gigantic 10-meter-tall structures weighing 2 tons are carried by some 100 young men. 6 of the &#8220;Houtou&#8221; gather in the town center, making this the biggest festival in the peninsula. Held once every August, this energetic festival can now be experienced virtually in the metaverse. By searching for &#8220;Amazing NOTO Festivals&#8221; using VRChat, you will be immersed into a 360-degree world with actual visuals and sounds from the festival. Or tourists can virtually visit the Wakura Onsen Omatsuri Kaikan festival hall and have their avatar gaze up at a towering Houtou and do interactive festival-related activities. They will be provided with a special opportunity to touch the heart and essence of Noto&#8217;s legendary festivals.<\/p>\n<p>Visitors can start planning their visit to Noto, feeling reassured that the people of <span class=\"xn-location\">Japan<\/span> are taking strict precautions against the spread of Covid.<\/p>\n<div class=\"PRN_ImbeddedAssetReference\" id=\"DivAssetPlaceHolder2\" readability=\"16\">\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/mma.prnasia.com\/media2\/2007662\/img1.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mma.prnasia.com\/media2\/2007662\/img1.jpg?p=medium600\" title=\"Indulge in the hot spring while admiring the magnificent ocean view\" alt=\"Indulge in the hot spring while admiring the magnificent ocean view\"> <\/a> <br \/><span>Indulge in the hot spring while admiring the magnificent ocean view<\/span><\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/mma.prnasia.com\/media2\/2007663\/img2.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mma.prnasia.com\/media2\/2007663\/img2.jpg?p=medium600\" title=\"Experience the four main festivals of Nanao at Wakura Onsen Omatsuri Hall\" alt=\"Experience the four main festivals of Nanao at Wakura Onsen Omatsuri Hall\"> <\/a> <br \/><span>Experience the four main festivals of Nanao at Wakura Onsen Omatsuri Hall<\/span><\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/mma.prnasia.com\/media2\/2007667\/img3.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mma.prnasia.com\/media2\/2007667\/img3.jpg?p=medium600\" title=\"Issaki-Houtou-Sai, a Kiriko Festival in Noto\" alt=\"Issaki-Houtou-Sai, a Kiriko Festival in Noto\"> <\/a> <br \/><span>Issaki-Houtou-Sai, a Kiriko Festival in Noto<\/span><\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/mma.prnasia.com\/media2\/2007665\/img5.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mma.prnasia.com\/media2\/2007665\/img5.jpg?p=medium600\" title=\"VRChat NOTO MATSURI Wonderland\" alt=\"VRChat NOTO MATSURI Wonderland\"> <\/a> <br \/><span>VRChat NOTO MATSURI Wonderland<\/span><\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/mma.prnasia.com\/media2\/2007664\/img6.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mma.prnasia.com\/media2\/2007664\/img6.jpg?p=medium600\" title=\"Wakura Onsen hot spring resort overlooking the Sea of Japan\" alt=\"Wakura Onsen hot spring resort overlooking the Sea of Japan\"> <\/a> <br \/><span>Wakura Onsen hot spring resort overlooking the Sea of Japan<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p id=\"PURL\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Cision\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" alt=\"Cision\" src=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/img\/favicon.png?sn=CN21722&amp;sd=2023-03-03\"> View original content to download multimedia:<a id=\"PRNURL\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.prnewswire.com\/news-releases\/find-amazing-festivals-and-peace-of-mind-at-japans-noto-peninsula-301761916.html\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.prnewswire.com\/news-releases\/find-amazing-festivals-and-peace-of-mind-at-japans-noto-peninsula-301761916.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NANAO, Japan, March 3, 2023 \/PRNewswire\/ &#8212; Japan is on everyone&#8217;s list of safe, must-see travel destinations.
