Ishikawa by Car
Majestic landscapes, rustic villages,
historic temples and hot springs
abound in this lesser-known,
yet impossibly beautiful corner of Japan.

Explore the region with a rental car and wind your way
around the sides of mountains - stopping off for hikes, views
or hot spring baths - cruise the rugged coastline, or even kickup sand driving along the beach.

KAGA
Activities
A wide variety of leisure activities
and experiences
If you wish to experience Japanese traditional crafts, we recommend Yamanaka
Lacquerware or Kutani Ware, which both originate from Kaga. There is also a
number of other leisure activities and visitor experiences for families, such as fruits
picking, hot springs, and walks.

Fruits Picking

Kaga Coast Nature Trail

Kaga Fruit Land is a tourist farm which
offers fruits-picking activities all year
round, including strawberries fromwinter to spring; cherries and blueberries
i n t h e e a r l y su m m e r ; g r a p e s f r o msummer to fall; and apples in winter. You
can pick seasonal fruits with your own
hands and taste them on site. The juice,jams, sweets etc. that are made with the
farm’s fruits are for sale.
You can spend the whole day at the
farm’s large grounds as there is also apark golf course and barbecue area.

With a view of the Sea of Japan, this 4-km
nature trail goes uphill and downhill withgentle curves. It starts at the Cape of Kasa,
where a white lighthouse is located, andends at Katano Beach. The cliffs erodedby the rough waves of the Sea of Japan,
unusual rock formations, and caves create
magnificent scenery. In contrast, it looks
as if the sea blends with the sky when you
stroll along a quiet sandy beach, andthere are hills with plants and flowers toenjoy. If you walk down the trail while
listening to the waves, you will feel as if
you are part of nature. In the summer, you
can enjoy swimming at Kurosaki Beach or
Katano Beach along the way.

NKutani Ware - Potter’s Wheel
and Painting Experiences“mokume” is a workshop-cum-store run by awood base craftsman of Yamanaka Lacquerware. While wood base craftsmen generally cut
a shape out of wood, Yamanaka Lacquerware
wood base craftsmen apply the best “woodturning” technique in Japan to cut out a roundobject, such as a bowl, using a potter’s wheel.
At the workshop, you can make a wooden vessel
through this woodturning technique. A craftsman will then finish your vessel with lacquer or
oil at a later date before shipment. Or experiencefor yourself crafting a small box or an object,which will be shipped at a later date.

Kutani Mangetsu is the largest Kutani Warespecialty shop in Hokuriku. It sells a variety of
Kutani Ware, ranging from vessels for daily use
to art objects, and also offers a hands-on experience of Kutani Ware.
During the painting experience, you can decorate a vessel, such as a mug, vase, or plate, withthe pattern of your choice, while during thepotter’s wheel experience, you can mold avessel using an electric potter’s wheel. Your item
will be shipped at a later date, so you can lookforward to receiving your finished item at home.
This will become the best memory of your trip.

Hot Springs

Tsukiusagi no SatoIn the Kaga area, there are four hot spring
towns within a radius of roughly 8 km:
Awazu, surrounded by foothills; Katayamazu, which sits on the side of Lake
Shibayama; Yamashiro, situated on ahillock overlooking the countryside; andYamanaka, located in the valley between
the mountains.
You can drop by and use a communal
bath called a soyu in each hot spring town.
Why not visit the soyu in all four towns todiscover their differences in terms of location and the quality of the springs?

In the Daishoji domain (now Kaga City), local
legend states that a rabbit helped by a man
saved the village from flood damage, so
rabbits are believed to bring good luck. Morethan 50 rabbits run around the Rabbit
Square, where you can feed and cuddle
them. (*A limited number of visitors cancuddle rabbits during specific time slots.)
The on-site store sells over 2,000 items for
rabbit lovers as well as rabbit-shaped bakery
sweets. The café and restaurant offer a wide
variety of dishes. At the sweets factory,
visitors can participate in cooking or experience other hands-on programs on weekends(reservation required).
