Noheji Town is at the base of the Shimokita Peninsula, at the head of Mutsu Bay. It has long been a transport hub, and in the Edo period it was a port of the Morioka Domain, busy with Kitamaebune trading ships. Because of the yamase (a cool northeasterly wind), the climate is cool all year, and in winter the town is one of the snowiest areas in the prefecture. It has Makado Onsen.
