石川県加賀市は、金沢とは距離を保ちながらも 加賀百万石の文化を匂わせる美意識が花開いた地。 加賀市は、大聖寺藩の置かれた〈大聖寺〉、加賀温泉郷の〈山代〉〈山中〉〈片山津〉の三温泉、日本海と接する〈橋立〉、旧北陸道に面した〈動橋〉の六つの地域から成ります。 三つの温泉地が全く異なる顔を持つように、これらの六地域にもそれぞれにいわれを秘めた歴史と個性豊かな暮らしがあります。 Kaga City in Ishikawa Prefecture flourished with a refined aesthetic influenced by the legacy of the Kaga Domain, all while maintaining a respectful distance from the cultural capital of Kanazawa. The city comprises six distinct areas: Daishōji, once the seat of the Daishōji Domain; Yamashiro, Yamanaka, and Katayamazu, which form the renowned Kaga Onsen area; Hashitate, facing the Sea of Japan; and Iburihashi, located along the old Hokuriku Road. Each of these six regions has its own unique history and character—just as the three hot spring towns possess entirely different atmospheres. Together, they create a mosaic of traditions and lifestyles that continue to shape Kaga’s cultural identity.
