Yuwaku Onsen

Known as the retreat of Kanazawa, this quiet hot spring village consisting of nine inns situated among the mountains. During the feudal government in Edo period, the curative hot springs were used by generations of the lords of Kaga Domain; the poet Yumeji Takehisa also famously spent one month of bliss in this romantic hot spring town with Hikono Kasai. First developed 1,300 years ago, the waters of the area's sodium chloride and sulfate saline springs are said to be effective for general indication, cuts, peripheral circulatory failure, sensitivity to cold, depression, and xerosis cutis. One unique local souvenir is Yuwaku kabura turnip pickles-a recreation of a food described Edo period texts, these pickles are sold at every inn, shop, and public bathhouse in the area and come in two varieties, yuzu ponzu citrus sauce and classic tsukemono Japanese pickle flavor.
