Anamizu Onsen

Anamizu Onsen is located in Anamizu Town, Ishikawa Prefecture, on the Noto Peninsula — a finger of land jutting into the Sea of Japan and designated a UNESCO Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System for its traditional salt farming (Age-hamaen), the unique Wajima lacquerware craft, and the Satoyama-Satoumi landscape of fishing villages, terraced rice paddies, and natural coastline that represents one of Japan's most intact traditional rural cultures. The siliceous thermal waters here serve a community on a peninsula severely impacted by the January 2024 Noto earthquake but whose deep cultural identity and remarkable traditional crafts continue to draw visitors committed to supporting the peninsula's recovery and preserving its extraordinary heritage. Bathing at Anamizu Onsen connects visitors to the enduring spirit of the Noto Peninsula's people, whose connection to the sea, the land, and the healing traditions of this remote Japanese coast has survived centuries of storms and the test of natural disaster.
