Bask in the waters of 1,300-year-old hot springs and drink in four centuries of Japanese history at Shiroganeya, a monument and inn preserving old-world traditions only a privileged few ever see.
EXPERIENCE
Shiroganeya epitomizes Japanese tranquility and demonstrates the country's exquisitely honed traditions. While you won't lift a finger, hotel staff will work tirelessly to make sure everything around you is always perfect. Traditional rooms with sliding doors and glossy wooden detailing completes the picture. Shiroganeya also features elegant Kaga cuisine, known for following the wholesome philosophy that simplicity is best.
The hot springs, or "on-sen" of Yamashiro near the temple-festooned city of Kaga, are the hotel's main draw. The hot springs are more than 1,000 years old and have been flowing through Shiroganeya's baths for more than a century. The piping hot, odorless water is said to improve circulation and alleviate joint pain.
The city of Kaga is filled with fascinating attractions, ancient sites, and annual festivals. Explore the many museums, join in celebrations such as the "Sakura" or cherry blossom festival, and take pictures of the massive shrines.
LOCATION
Shiroganeya is tucked away in the forests of Kaga, an unusually sparse but historic city originally created as a temple town nearly 400 years ago during the Edo period. The Komatsu Airport (which receives flights from Tokyo Haneda Airport) is a 25-minute drive away. The inn can also be reached by a 10-minute taxi ride from the Kaga Onsen train station.
