An on-site survey by the Kanazawa University Institute of Advanced Tourism Sciences, Waseda University, Toyo University, and Hokkai-Gakuen University revealed that approximately 2024% of the region's tourism resources were damaged in the Noto Peninsula earthquake that occurred in January 1. The Kanazawa University Institute of Advanced Tourism Sciences has published a damage map with photos based on the survey results on its website.

 According to the Kanazawa University Institute of Advanced Tourism Sciences, the survey was conducted over a five-month period from February by Associate Professor Kawasumi Atsushi and Associate Professor Maruya Kota from the Kanazawa University Institute of Integrated Arts and Sciences, Associate Professor Furuyama Shutaro from the Waseda University Graduate School of Human Sciences, Professor Yabunaga Chino from Toyo University's School of International Studies, and Professor Miyajima Yoshiaki from Hokkai-Gakuen University's School of Economics.

 The survey covered 218 tourist resources in the cities of Suzu, Wajima, Nanao, Noto, Anamizu, and Shika, including locations introduced on the official websites and tourist brochures of each local government, as well as cultural properties and sake breweries designated by Ishikawa Prefecture.

 As a result, 71.1% of tourist facilities were found to have sustained some kind of damage, such as destruction. Some tourist attractions had experienced increased foot traffic despite being completely or partially destroyed. The research group believes that this information will be useful when considering the restoration of tourism on the Noto Peninsula.

 The Kanazawa University Institute of Advanced Tourism Sciences' website visualizes the location and damage extent of each tourist facility on a map, and provides detailed photographs of the damage.
