Experience Location
Kaga City is in the south of Ishikawa Prefecture, but the greater Kaga area reaches along the coastline down from Kanazawa. It’s known for gorgeous scenery of both mountain ranges and sea, which contribute greatly to Kaga’s exceptional local cuisine. Pure waters run from Mount Hakusan, and quality regional produce grows in the rich soils of the Kaga plain. The Kaga region is also famous for its hot springs. Locally-produced ceramics called kutaniyaki can be seen at the handicraft village of Yunokuni no Mori in Komatsu City, while Natadera Temple in Komatsu is also a popular attraction.
