Anamizu, at the base of the Noto Peninsula in Ishikawa Prefecture where the Nanao Bay meets the peninsula coast, is a traditional lacquerware-producing community known for Wajima-connected Noto craft traditions, and the gateway town for the dramatic Noto Satoyama Satoumi UNESCO Globally Important Agricultural Heritage landscape of traditional Noto farming and fishing culture. Anamizu Onsen Ishikawa draws on chloride-rich coastal thermal waters from the geological formations of the Nanao Bay coast, offering restorative baths in a community embedded in the extraordinary living cultural landscape of the Noto Peninsula where traditional oyster farming, rice cultivation on steep coastal terraces, and satoyama woodland management coexist as they have for centuries. The Noto Satoyama Satoumi Heritage landscape, the Wajima morning market accessible from the northern Noto road, and the fresh Noto oysters, squid, and snow crab of Anamizu's bay fishing culture create a richly traditional spa destination at the Noto Peninsula gateway in Ishikawa Prefecture.
