KANAZAWA, Japan - Noto airport in Ishikawa Prefecture, central Japan, will be nicknamed "Noto Satoyama Pokemon With You Airport," becoming the world's first airport to bear the Pokemon name, the prefectural government said Thursday.
As part of efforts to revitalize the Noto Peninsula area, which was struck by a devastating earthquake on New Year's Day in 2024 and heavy rains later that year, the airport will use the nickname from July 7 through Sept. 30, 2029.
