Nanao Castle was constructed at the top of steep ridges, thus it was called a natural fortress. It is believed to have been built by the Hatakeyama Clan of Noto Domain around the beginning of the 16th century. This is the restoration model of almost the entire area of Nanao Castle site, a nationally designated historical site. It was created based on digital topographical data obtained from airborne laser surveys, with a planar scale of 1/2,000 and a height of 1.5 times. The site is now covered by trees, making it difficult to examine its detailed topography; however, this model gives us an idea of the entire site.

The rich nature of Noto, where the sea and mountains meet, and the lives of the people who have lived there in harmony with nature were recognized as a Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System in 2011.
The museum opened in October 2018, marking 1,300 years since the establishment of Noto Province in 718. It promotes the charm of the Noto Peninsula and introduces the nature, history, and culture of Nanao, which was once the center of Noto Province.
In addition to hands-on exhibits, quiz-style explanations and touch panel searching, there is a Satoyama Satoumi theater where visitors can enjoy beautiful seasonal images and dynamic festival videos of Noto and Nanao on two large screens, making it an educational experience for all ages.
The outdoor observation deck offers a panoramic view of the adjacent national historic site, the ruins of Noto Kokubun-ji Temple.
