Shunran Village Review
More than 30 traditional houses in this farming village at the end of the peninsula have been turned into minshuku, offering visitors the chance to experience rural Noto life, albeit with no hotel-style amenities at all in most cases. Try your hand at chopping firewood, harvesting rice, making jam, or dyeing fabric with the villagers' patient instruction. Meals are as local as you can get—the rice is harvested from paddies outside the houses. Of the many minshuku, Shunran no Yado staff are particularly friendly.
