Nanao Wan, on the E side of Noto Hanto, is entered between Kannon Zaki and Ebisu Zaki (Okinami Hana) (37°11'N., 137°01'E.), about 6 miles N. Noto jima, occupying the center of the large bay, divides it into three parts, Nanaohoku Wan (Kita Wan), Nanao nan Wan (Minami Wan), and Nanao sei Wan (Nishi Wan), on the N, S, and SW sides, respectively, of the island. Nanao hoku Wan provides good anchorage for large vessels. Nanao Ko lies in the S part of Nanaonan Wan; its harbor occupies the major part of it. Nanao sei Wan provides safe anchorage for small vessels; however, there are fish havens in the bay, and Nisi Guri, a reef with a depth of 2.6m, lies in the SE part of Nanao sei Wan.
