Torigoe, Hakusan, Ishikawa Prefecture
Kobo-no-Yu, Bird Humming Torigoe
A strong low-cost natural-spring option if you are driving through Torigoe, the Tedori Gorge or the Hakusan foothills. It is less convenient from central Kanazawa without a car because buses are infrequent and road conditions can change.
