Tsubata Town, in the middle of the prefecture, borders Toyama Prefecture. Since ancient times it prospered as a post town where the Hokurikudo road and the road to Noto split. At Kurikara Pass, Kiso Yoshinaka is said to have defeated the Taira clan with the "fire bull" tactic. The town has Ishikawa Forest Park and is the most populous town in the prefecture.
