Wakura Onsen, located on the historical Noto Peninsula, is renowned for its rich heritage and unique “sea hot spring” qualities. Dating back 1,200 years, this celebrated onsen boasts a high-temperature, mineral-rich water known for its therapeutic benefits. The discovery of the hot springs is steeped in local legend, involving a fisherman couple and a wounded egret that found healing in the bubbling waters, leading to the area's reputation as a wellness retreat.

Wakura Onsen offers a variety of services catering to both locals and tourists, including public baths and foot baths that utilize the natural hot spring water. Visitors can also indulge in a distinct culinary experience by preparing onsen-steamed eggs, a local specialty created using the mineral-rich waters. The onsen's mineral composition, primarily sodium and calcium chloride, contributes to its recognized efficacy in treating ailments such as joint pain and skin conditions, and has been celebrated globally, including receiving accolades at the World Spa Exposition in Germany.
