West Area 6

The name, Mikkaichi (Market on dates that include 3), came from markets held on the 3rd, 13th, and 23rd of each month during the Middle Ages. The market declined in the late 16th century, but it is thought that the farmers living in this area later formed Mikkaichi Village. These farmers grew sweet melons and other vegetables for the castle towns in Kanazawa.
Mikkaichi became part of Nonoichi Town in 1956.
Gohachiman Shrine protects this section of Nonoichi Town.
