The Noto-Satoyama Kaidō (のと里山海道) is a free national expressway in the Japanese prefecture of Ishikawa. As of July 2019, it connects the town Uchinada to the town Wajima, spanning nearly the entire Noto Peninsula from south to north. Much of the northern portion of the road runs concurrently with the Nōetsu Expressway. It is owned and operated by Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) and is signed as E41 and E86 under their "2016 Proposal for Realization of Expressway Numbering."

History

File:The Damage of Noto Toll Road.jpg

A map of the Noto Peninsula showing where damage was inflicted to the Noto Toll Road by the 2007 Noto earthquake.

The Noto-Satoyama Kaidō was first opened as the tolled Noto Beach Road (のと里山海道, Noto kaihin-dōro) between Takamatsu and Yanaida interchanges on 21 July 1973 by the Ishikawa Prefecture Toll Road Corporation. In August of the same year it was extended south to Shiroo Interchange. When the highway was extended north to Tokudaotsu Interchange in 1982, its name was changed to the Noto Toll Road (能登有料道路, Noto yūryōdōro).

The Noto Toll Road was damaged by the 2007 Noto earthquake, a magnitude 6.9 earthquake that closed sections of the road for six months.

The toll road was released from the Ishikawa Prefecture Toll Road Corporation on 1 April 2013 and all tolls were removed. When MLIT took control of the highway after its release by the Ishikawa Prefecture Toll Road Corporation, it was given its current name, the Noto-Satoyama Kaidō.
