Ishikawa Kaga City
An onsen inn embraced by deep green mountains, where you can savor the famed waters praised by Matsuo Basho in an open-air bath
Ooedo Onsen Monogatari Premium Yamanaka Grand Hotel is an onsen resort inn in Kaga, Ishikawa Prefecture. Enjoy the historic Yamanaka Onsen, praised by Matsuo Basho as one of the Three Great Hot Springs of Japan, in two main bathhouses with distinct atmospheres. Ayatori-no-Yu features baths arranged like terraced rice fields, while Kakusen-no-Yu has a semi-open-air bath with a rustic feel. The baths operate on a rotation system for men and women, and both have saunas. Kakusen-no-Yu also has a ceramic urn bath used as a cold plunge, offering gentle relief for overheated bodies. After bathing, enjoy complimentary alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks in the Premium Lounge. With high-performance massage chairs, table tennis, a manga corner, and a generous all-inclusive offering, you can spend the whole day in comfort.

This main bathhouse is striking for its distinctive layout, with baths arranged in tiers like terraced rice fields. The mildly alkaline simple onsen, gentle on the skin, softly envelops the whole body. Outside, an open-air bath offers sweeping views of deep green mountains. Enjoy the historic waters beloved by Matsuo Basho as you take in the rustle of the trees and the changing seasons.

This main bathhouse is distinguished by its rustic design, with part of the indoor bath extending into a semi-open-air bath. Enjoy the famed waters while taking in the fresh outdoor air, whatever the weather. The gentle waters warm you right through to the core, and their comforting warmth lingers after you leave the bath. At night, soft lighting creates an enchanting atmosphere for a restorative escape from everyday life.

A comfortable sauna room with the warmth of wood, offering a chance to leave the day’s fatigue behind. Its gentle, steady heat warms you right through to the core without feeling overwhelming, guiding you toward deep relaxation of both body and mind. A ceramic urn bath cold plunge sits just nearby, making it easy to cool down after your sauna in a thoughtfully designed layout.

A charming ceramic urn-style cold plunge, set right beside the sauna. Its just-right size envelops your overheated body, while the brisk chill pulls the body taut. After cooling off in this private space designed for one person, head to the semi-open-air bathing area to cool off in the open air.
