Fireworks Shows and Charming Houseboats at this Town on the Banks of Lake Shibayama

Enjoy beautiful views of the sacred Mt. Hakusan from this lakeside hot spring town. The town's hot spring water has warming effects, said to help prevent chills from poor circulation. The lake's surface takes on a wide variety of colors over the course of a single day, and this hot spring town makes the perfect place to enjoy it. In addition to the houseboats and fireworks shows, Katayamazu Onsen offers plenty to see and do, whether it's a meal of gensen tofu or trying Akiko-zome mud dyeing, and Kaga Katayamazu City Spa's glass architecture is stunning.
