VISIT KANAZAWA, JAPAN - Official Travel Guide

✔︎ Visit to ancient Natadera temple, dedicated to worshiping nature

✔︎ Delicious seafood lunch at Yamamotoya 

✔︎ Drinking tea in a samurai house and hot springs in Yamanaka Onsen town.

The Kaga region, carrying the name of the richest domain during the feudal period in Japan, is well known for its beautiful natural landscapes and ancient history. 

In this experience, you will visit three famous sites there: Natadera, Yamamotoya, and Yamanaka Onsen.  

→ Natadera is famous for housing the Natadera Temple, which is dedicated to worshiping the sacredness of nature. The beautiful natural landscape is calming and photogenic in any season.

→Yamamotoya is famous for being a bustling port town. It used to be a stop in the routes of Kitamaebune (merchant ships that used to go around Japan during the Edo Period). Here you will experience an entire seafood course, and before you realize it, you’ll be exclaiming “Umai!” ("Yummy!") like a true Japanese.

→ The last stop is at Yamanaka Onsen, a perfect location to wind down after a day’s adventure. You will be able to drink tea in Mugen-an Samurai House while overlooking the river, walk the ancient path of Japanese poets, experience the onsens, and buy the famed Yamanaka lacquerware in this hot spring town surrounded by beautiful nature.

*We recommend you bring comfortable shoes to walk.

*The lunch menu is subject to change with the season.
