Popis: Abstract On 1 January 2024, a massive earthquake struck the Noto Peninsula in Japan, and the resulting tsunami significantly damaged the nearby coasts. This study focuses on Iida Bay, located on the peninsula that suffered severe coastal damage. We observed a tsunami waveform in Iida Bay from video analysis owing to the lack of instrument data. This, combined with the waveform observed outside the bay, was used to correct the initial sea‐surface displacements produced by a prior source model. We successfully reproduced the observed waveforms with corrected displacements and investigated how the tsunami propagated and amplified in the bay. Alongshore wave propagation and superposition were identified as crucial factors in this tsunami event.
