Mihama
Noma Cape in Mihama combines a maritime landmark with a low-key seaside setting in a way that reflects its position on the western shore of the Chita Peninsula. The white Nomazaki Lighthouse, erected in 1921, stands beside the coast of Ise Bay, whose waters separate the peninsula from Mie Prefecture on the opposite shore. This part of Aichi faces west rather than the open Pacific and is threaded by local roads, small settlements and beaches. Mihama belongs to the southern Chita Peninsula, a coastal district long shaped by fishing and by links across the bay. The lighthouse gives Noma a clear identity: a functional aid to navigation and a familiar landmark along the bayfront.

Ise Bay defines the setting of Mihama — its position on the western coast of the Chita Peninsula gives the town a low, open shoreline and keeps local life closely connected to the water. This part of Aichi Prefecture faces across the bay toward Mie Prefecture, while coastal roads link Mihama with other communities along the peninsula. Noma Lighthouse, built in 1921, is the oldest surviving lighthouse in Aichi and a familiar landmark on the bay coast. Mihama also preserves the atmosphere of a small Japanese seaside town, away from the dense urban fabric of nearby Nagoya.
