Shika Town faces the Sea of Japan on the west side of the Noto Peninsula and was formed by the merger of the former Shika Town and Togi Town. It produces "korogaki" dried persimmons, and the wooden Former Fukura Lighthouse remains at Fukura Port. Noto Kongo, a coast carved by rough waves, is a highlight, and the Shika Nuclear Power Station is also located here.
