[FREE] Walking Tour in Yamanaka Onsen, Kaga City
Join us for a day trip to Kaga City! We invite you to our free walking tour to explore and find the charm of the hot spring town with the history of 1300 years.
Kaga City Tourism Association and Art of Geisha (Art of Kanazawa) in Kanazawa have teamed up to create a special walking tour that lets participants find the charm of Kanazawa's neighbouring city, Kaga City.
Hidden in the mountains along the Daishoji River, Yamanaka Onsen is one of the three hot spring towns in Kaga City.
The town with the history of 1300 years not only offers the stunning scenery, considered some of the most spectacular in the region, but also rich culture and crafts, including Yamanaka lacquerware and Geisha (knowns as Geigi).
Why don't you hop on the Hokuriku Shinkansen for an 18-minute journey from Kanazawa Station to Kagaonsen Station, and discover the charm of the serene hot spring town with us!
We invite 10 people to participate in our trial walking tour in Yamanaka Onsen for free of charge. We cover public transportation fares (Hokuriku Shinkansen and bus) for all participants. This walking tour will be officially launched in Autumn 2025.
