An experiential multi-purpose facility in the naturally rich Yamashiro Onsen area of Kaga, Ishikawa, serving as a "first point" that connects visitors to the satoyama landscape familiar to the local community. "Mori no Kitchen" offers light meals and desserts, while the approximately 360-meter-long "Kairo" features a photogenic mist effect known as "Mori no Unkai." Accommodation includes six camper van sites for overnight stays and three cottages with a capacity of two guests each. After outdoor activities, Yamashiro Onsen Soyu, a public bathhouse, is also within reach for a hot spring soak.
You can spend a lot of time just looking at the exhibits at museums and art galleries, but why not take part in the exhibitions and events held at various locations? Its charm is overwhelming, and some fans say they have fallen in love with museums and art galleries because of the special exhibitions. It is also refreshing to visit local shrines and temples and admire the Buddhist statues and gardens. There are some temples where you can experience meditation, sutra copying, etc., so why not knock on the gate and try a little spiritual training?
