Ishikawa Kaga City

"Lakefront Inn Morimoto" is a hot spring ryokan in Kaga, Ishikawa. A long-established culinary inn in Katayamazu Onsen, proud of its history since 1892. Set on the shore of beautiful Shibayamagata, which is said to change color seven times a day, it offers luxurious bathing in its large public bath, where you can take in sweeping views of the calm lake surface and the Hakusan mountain range through large glass windows, while enjoying its famed waters drawn straight from the source at an approximate spring temperature of 73 degrees Celsius, with no added water or heating for 24 hours. It features a spectacular open-air bath newly revived in summer 2025 after recovering from earthquake damage, a private bath with the warmth of hinoki cypress, and rooms with a luxurious private stone bath fed by the inn's own hot spring, all provided in a lavish all-inclusive style for a special lakeside stay.
