Kaga Onsen・Yunokuni Tensho

A retreat that reminds you of the luxury of 'doing nothing'. At dusk, the lights visible through the steam led me to 'Yunokuni Tensho'. This is a hot spring inn where one night is simply not enough. Like a hot spring theme park, it offers three distinct large baths and 18 different hot spring experiences. The starry sky viewed from the open-air baths feels like a reward for travelers. However, the true luxury might be the 'tranquility'. As you walk through the inn, the sound of tatami mats, the scent of wood, and the beauty of Kutani porcelain and Kaga Yuzen displayed in the corridors evoke the feeling of 'Ah, I am truly traveling in Japan'. At night, indulge in a kaiseki meal featuring Kaga vegetables and Noto beef. In the morning, enjoy fluffy rice and the aroma of dashi alongside the sunlight streaming through the windows. This is the kind of inn that makes your heart whisper, 'I want to come back here again.' ⸻ 📍 Yunokuni Tensho (Kaga Onsen Area・Yamashiro Onsen) 19-49-1 Yamashiro Onsen, Kaga City, Ishikawa Prefecture 🚃 Free shuttle bus available from JR Kaga Onsen Station (approx. 15 minutes) 🚗 About 15 minutes by car from Hokuriku Expressway 'Kaga IC' 💤 Rooms with open-air baths and secluded villa-style accommodations are popular 🛀 Some day-use hot spring options available (check in advance) ⸻ 📌 This is not just a place to stay.
