Hi, I’m Tabi!

Kaga City in Ishikawa offers hot-spring districts and pottery culture. Plan separate transport between Yamanaka’s gorge and streets and Daishoji’s museum; the wider Kaga region is not all within this city.

This guide covers places within Kaga, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.

01 · EXPLORE

Three places to begin

Three places with different atmospheres. Start with the one that appeals to you instead of visiting them all.

What could you try?

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Try the Kiku no Yu area → Yuge Kaido. Check path conditions and weather before adding the gorge. Plan the Kutani museum as a separate district outing and check its temporary closure.

Check the walking route

Check actual distances and travel times on the map. This suggested walk is separate from your app movement record.

Before you set off

  • Check current entry rules, opening information and return transport.
  • Choose an outing suited to steps, slopes and weather.
  • Respect worship spaces and photography rules; check food ingredients at the shop.
