Insider tip — Kaga Katayamazu Onsen Soyu is the public communal bathhouse serving the Katayamazu Onsen resort on the shores of Kaga's scenic Shibayama Lagoon in Ishikawa. The sodium-chloride waters have a warming, skin-moisturizing quality that earns Katayamazu its reputation as one of the Kaga Sanko hot spring trio. The soyu design integrates traditional Kanazawa lacquerwork motifs throughout the interior. Pair your soak with a stroll along the lake promenade as the sun sets over the Japan Sea.
