Proudly carrying the name of the richest domain during the feudal period in Japan,

Kaga offers the perfect blend between culture and the natural landscapes of the sea and the mountains.

In this trip, you’ll start by visiting Natadera Temple, where you’ll feel the deep relationship between the wonders of nature and spirituality. Following, you’ll refresh your soul at the nature power spot of Koke no sato (Moss Garden).

For lunch and Japanese tea, we’ll visit the gorgeous Japanese mansion of Mugenan in Yamanaka Onsen.

Lastly, we’ll walk the ancient pathways of Kakusenkei Gorges where the fresh air of the

mountains of Yamanaka will inspire you to write Haiku like the ancient Japanese poets.

For those wanting to, there’s enough free time to enjoy a warm bath and unique cultural experience at the Onsen (Japanese Hot Springs).

Natadera
One of the three most sacred mountains in Japan, Hakusan, was first recognized more than 1,300 years ago by a monk called Taicho. He also founded Natadera in 717 as a temple to worship the sacredness of nature. A place of spirituality, rebirth and healing, Natadera offers a natural paradise not to be missed.

Hiyo Koke No Sato Moss Garden

There are few things as refreshing for the soul as taking a deep breath of fresh air at Koke No Sato. Carefully cultivated for generations, the abundant varieties of moss, the tall cedar trees and moss covered lanterns create a mystical atmosphere.

Yamanaka Onsen
One of the retainers of the Maeda Clan, built a lavish mansion in Kanazawa which was transferred piece by piece to a privileged place overlooking the Kakusenkei Gorges in Yamanaka. This is the perfect location for a nutritious lunch and a Japanese tea set .

*Choose between either Japanese or Western Set

We’ll end the tour with a walk through the Kakusenkei Gorges (depending on the season) which is said to have been walked by the legendary Japanese poet Matsuo Basho. The rest of the free time at Yamanaka Onsen can be spend in a variety of ways but we think a trip to Yamanaka Onsen wouldn’t be complete without trying their exceptional hot springs. The guests may choose to go to the public communal bath for a unique cultural experience or one of the other options of the city.

(Please note the entrance to the hot springs is not included in the price)
