Discover Kaga Onsen: Where Tradition Meets Luxury

Kaga Onsen, a historic hot spring region boasting a 1300-year history, is now the focus of an exciting feature in CREA WEB, the online hub of the renowned magazine CREA. This special feature titled "Smart Travel: Experience Extra Luxury with Travel Taxation" invites travelers to explore the charms of Kaga Onsen, including its mesmerizing hot springs, delicious cuisine, and traditional crafts.

Embrace the Luxury of Travel Taxation

One of the highlights of this travel experience is the innovative concept of 'Travel Taxation.' Through this initiative, travelers can receive electronic gift certificates as rewards for their hometown tax donations, making their experiences not only luxurious but also smart. Imagine indulging in Kaga Onsen's exquisite offerings with these handy gift certificates, tailored to enhance your visit.

As the winter season approaches, Kaga's culinary delights take center stage, especially with the onset of the Kanou Crab and Kourabou Crab, both cherished delicacies of Ishikawa Prefecture. The fishing season kicks off on November 6 at Hashidate Port, signaling the arrival of cravings for these seasonal crab dishes at local ryokans and dining establishments. Savoring fresh crab while soaking in the relaxing onsen or enjoying the stunning autumn foliage creates a memorable journey.

Autumn Colors and Culinary Delights Await

From the tranquil ambiance of Yamashiro Onsen’s historic Koso-yu to the breathtaking scenes at Tsuru-sen Keikyo in Yamanaka Onsen, visitors can immerse themselves in the beauty of fall as the maple leaves change color. November is indeed the perfect month to visit Kaga Onsen, allowing the exquisite combination of autumn beauty and culinary excellence to touch the heart of every traveler.

Experience the Convenience of 'Smart Travel'

The 'Travel Taxation' system is revolutionizing the way travelers enjoy local experiences. Guests can make donations through their smartphones before or during their trip, instantly receiving the electronic gift certificates to use at local shops and restaurants. With 80 member stores as of October 2025, various experiences await—from traditional crafts like Kutani ceramics and Yamanaka lacquer ware to accommodations and dining.

This initiative not only bridges the gap between hometown support and travel enjoyment, but also allows guests to enjoy the leftover credit for their next visit, making it an even more attractive choice for returning visitors. Each gift certificate remains valid for 180 days, ensuring ample opportunities to engage with local culture and offerings.
