Kaga Onsen is a historic hot spring area in Ishikawa Prefecture, known for its atmospheric baths, traditional ryokan inns, and relaxed countryside setting. It's made up of four main onsen towns - Yamashiro, Yamanaka, Katayamazu, and Awazu - each with its distinct character and appeal.
Visitors can soak in centuries-old thermal waters, explore beautifully preserved wooden bathhouses, and enjoy local kaiseki cuisine. Yamanaka Onsen offers scenic riverside walks in Kakusenkei Gorge, while Yamashiro is home to Kutaniyaki pottery workshops and a striking public bath designed by artist Rosanjin. For nature lovers, the area provides quiet hiking trails, lakeside cycling, and views of Mount Hakusan. Culture-focused travellers can visit temples, craft studios, and samurai-era architecture.
