Hōsu District, Ishikawa

Hōsu (鳳珠郡, Hōsu-gun) is a district located in Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan.

The district consists of two towns: On March 1, 2005 the village of Yanagida and the town of Noto (both from Fugeshi District) were merged with the town of Uchiura (from Suzu District) to form the new town of Noto.

At the same time, the towns of Anamizu and Monzen (both formerly from Fugeshi District), became towns in Hōsu District.

The new district takes one kanji from each of its predecessors: the first kanji comes from Fugeshi (鳳至) and the second comes from Suzu (珠洲).
