Fisherman's Pavilion Kaga Dentong Gongyun Village Yunmori 〒923-0331 Awazu Onsen 3-3, Komatsu City, Ishikawa Prefecture The dining environment is spacious and clean, with a large parking lot. Therefore, many group guests come to dine here. The meal is "Hokuriku Sweet Shrimp Hotpot Gozen" which costs about 2,000 yen. It was my first time to eat sweet shrimp hotpot. All sweet shrimps can be eaten raw. It's very fresh and sweet, and it tastes great when paired with rice~ It's very similar to sweet shrimp nigiri sushi. The individual set menu includes pot dishes, teppanyaki miso cabbage pork, and Tangyang chicken... The miso was a bit salty, and the Tangyang Chicken was a bit cold and had a slightly spicy taste, but I thought it was okay. Although the sweet shrimp was the only one that stood out 😙, I was still very satisfied after eating it. #japan #Hokuriku #定食 #sweetshrimp #sashimi #hot pot #石川 #小松

＜The pinnacle of beauty reached by Kaga Province's "stone culture" - a mysterious history that speaks strongly to people's hearts＞ Kutani ware, a representative example of the advanced culture and art of Kaga Province (present-day southern Ishikawa Prefecture), is a type of porcelain characterized by the use of gorgeous colors commonly known as "five colors." It began in the early Edo period in the territory of Daishoji Domain, a branch domain of Kaga Domain, where local pottery stone was combined with the techniques cultivated in Arita in Hizen Province (present-day Saga Prefecture and most of Nagasaki Prefecture) to produce this porcelain, but after only about 50 years, all the kilns of this "Kokutani" ware were closed and it disappeared, leaving many mysteries unsolved. About 100 years later, in the early 19th century, new pottery stone was discovered in the area of ​​present-day Komatsu City, and the "Revival of Kutani", which was mainly produced in the southern part of Kaga Province, grew into a major industry in the Kaga Domain. The lineage has been passed down since the Meiji period, and artists have been producing works full of creativity while incorporating traditional techniques, trends of the times, and even overseas pottery methods. ① Kutani Ceramic Laboratory (photos 1-10) The "Kutani Ceramic Laboratory" is a must-see facility for learning about the substance and appeal of Kutani ware. It combines the functions of a Kutani ware workshop, gallery, and experience facility, and its architecture, with its skillfully combined acute angles, is eye-catching. It was designed by Kengo Kuma (1954-), who is now recognized as a world-famous architect. On the site of a workshop where clay for porcelain was kneaded from locally produced "Hanazaka Pottery Stone," a cutting-edge design space was created while retaining the previous functions. The first thing that catches your eye when you enter the museum is the workshop surrounded by a huge glass wall. In front of the equipment that looks like a complex conveyor, the material of the pottery stone and the process of crushing the stone are carefully explained. Actual items are displayed at each stage, and you can see how much effort goes into making porcelain, which tends to be focused on the beauty of the finished product, and how it is undoubtedly a "locally produced" art. In the gallery space behind the building, a variety of works are exhibited with seasonal concepts, and you can purchase the ones you like on the spot. Thanks to the multifaceted lighting and soft clay walls, you can view the works without any stress, and it is also a nice point that you can see the individuality and playfulness of each artist. Access: About 15 minutes by car from Komatsu IC ② Mutan (Photos are allowed, but there are no photos because uploading to the web or SNS is prohibited) Kinzanyo, a Kutani ware kiln located in Takado-cho, Komatsu City, is a kiln that has delivered many masterpieces of Kutani ware to the world since its founding in 1906, specializing in its unique gold leaf technique and geometric patterns. This historic kiln has newly established Mutan as a gallery to convey the charm and value of Kutani ware. The word Mutan means "a silent beginning" and "selfless creation," and it has an extraordinary atmosphere. Tours of Mutan require a reservation in advance. After applying on the web page and exchanging emails, you can visit Kinzanyo on the day, where the kiln owner himself will invite you into the workshop and personally guide you through the pottery making process. It is not often that you get the chance to talk to a pottery artist, and it may be a once in a lifetime experience to see the way the pottery and tools move lightly in the thick hands of the maker. With such a sense of tension, I headed to Kandan, a stone storehouse made of tightly assembled slightly yellowish stones, which were also quarried from Kanagaso in Komatsu City. When I opened the heavy door, I was greeted by a cool, tense atmosphere and rows of porcelain shining with a certain severity. The word that comes to mind from the glass that stretches to the ceiling for lighting, the linearity of the long table in the center, and the dignified appearance of the pottery is "temple". The solemnity that permeates the entire space was something special that I had never felt in any museum or gallery before, and I was stunned for a while. At Kandan, the kiln owner and his family spoke to me about the charm of the pottery, the mysterious history of Kutani ware, and the lineage of the "stone culture" handed down in Kaga Province, and I was given many insights. After the tour, the doors slowly closed and I tried hard to burn the image of Kandan and Kutani ware into my memory as they seemed to go to "sleep" again, ruminating on the quiet and passionate impressions. Access: About 10 minutes by car from Komatsu IC Recommendation for solo travelers: ★★★★★ (You can explore to your heart's content. It's almost a private venue!) Visit date: Weekday, 4th week of July, around 3pm *Some of the photos in this post were borrowed from a friend. #Kutani Ceramic Laboratory #Kantan #Komatsu City #Komatsu #Ishikawa Trip #Ishikawa Tourism #ishikawakanko #Hokuriku #Hokuriku Trip #Hokuriku Tourism #Kutani Ware #Kinzan Kiln #Pottery #Ceramics #Pottery Lover #Ceramics #Porcelain #Living with Tableware #Kiln #Kiln Tour #Architecture Lover #Architecture Tour #Famous Architecture #Architectural Design #Spatial Design #Kengo Kuma #Japanese Heritage #History Lover #Solo Travel #Living with Travel

A small guide to Japan's niche tourist attractions-Hexianxi ‼ ️ During the autumn leaf season, since I didn't want to go to cities with large crowds like Kyoto, I asked a PhD friend who was studying in Japan to recommend a place where locals could relax and vacation, Kaga Onsen Village in Ishikawa Prefecture. I really loved it. About transportation: 1️⃣. Beijing-Tokyo, Tokyo-Ishikawa Prefecture Komatsu Airport in 1.5 hours (you can also take the Shinkansen in Tokyo, about 500 kilometers); 2️⃣. There are 2 direct flights from Shanghai to Komatsu Airport every week; 3️⃣. Take a bus or JR train from Komatsu Airport to Kaga Onsen Station, which only takes 2️⃣0️⃣ minutes; It is recommended to rest and adjust for one night, and reserve a day for Hexian Creek the next day; Take bus No. 1️⃣ from Kaga Onsen Station to Tsurusenkyo, which takes about 4️⃣0️⃣ minutes and costs 430 yen; It takes about 2-3 hours to visit the Hexianxi scenic spot. The scenery is very beautiful and there are few people. What you need to pay attention to is that the road is quite slippery. I was very lucky this time and even encountered a super cute little snake on the road. There is also a riverbed tent in the middle of the mountain stream where you can rest. The iced matcha is super delicious, I recommend trying it. When you come to Kaga, you must experience the very famous hot spring. After playing, you can walk for about ten minutes along the map to Kiku-no-Yu (the oldest hot spring in the area). If you don’t bring your own toiletries, you can buy them at the self-service vending machine. After taking a bath, you can take the return bus back to Kaga Onsen JR Line. Remember to check the bus departure time, otherwise you will have to wait for a long time. This is also my first time riding a bus in Japan. Remember to take the ticket when you get on the bus, and put it in with coins when you get off. Don't worry if you don't have change, there is a money change machine on the bus 🚌 (it says two changes)

More than just an inn, it's a living testament to history, quietly narrating tales of over 1,300 years. A Thousand Years of Splendor: Echoes of History In 718 AD, during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, the high monk Taicho discovered a hot spring here and built an inn, marking the origin of Hōshi. Through countless dynasties and the passage of time, it has been passed down through 46 generations. Although once recognized by Guinness as the world's oldest hotel (now second), its charm remains undiminished. Stepping into the inn is like stepping into the river of history. The courtyard, known as the "Little Kenrokuen," offers picturesque scenery with every step, changing with the seasons.
