The best area to stay in Kaga, particularly for visitors seeking the quintessential onsen experience, is Yamashiro Onsen.


Yamashiro Onsen is one of Kaga's most renowned hot spring towns, known for its long history and traditional Japanese inns (ryokan). The town centres around its public bathhouses, or sōyu, which are a focal point for both locals and visitors. You'll find charming streets lined with small shops selling local crafts and sweets, as well as traditional restaurants. The general atmosphere here is one of relaxation and cultural appreciation.


Couples looking for a tranquil and culturally rich escape will find Yamashiro Onsen ideal. Many ryokan here offer private onsen baths, exquisite multi-course meals (kaiseki), and personalised service, making for a truly indulgent experience. Strolling through the town in yukata (a casual kimono) after a soak is a lovely way to spend an evening.


For families, particularly those with older children who appreciate cultural experiences, Yamashiro Onsen also offers a good base. Many ryokan are welcoming to families, and the town's compact size makes it easy to explore on foot.
