Anamizu Live Cam

History

The roots of Anamizu stretch back to ancient times, when this coastal town in Ishikawa Prefecture served as a vital hub in the Noto Peninsula’s fishing and salt industries. Known in early Japanese records as “Anami,” the port blossomed during the Nara and Heian periods as part of the coastal trade route linking the Sea of Japan to the inland provinces. Merchants arriving by sampan would offload salt harvested from the tidal flats, while local fishermen—skilled in traditional net-casting techniques—brought in fresh catches of yellowtail, sea bream, and squid.
