Kaga, Historical administrative division in Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan.

Located in southwestern Ishikawa Prefecture, Kaga extends over 305 square kilometers with the Sea of Japan bordering its western edge.

During the Edo period, Kaga functioned as the center of Daishoji Domain, developing into a significant administrative region under Tokugawa leadership.

The region maintains strong traditions in ceramic arts through Kutani porcelain production and specialized silk fabric manufacturing known as Kaga habutae.

Three main hot spring towns - Yamanaka Onsen, Yamashiro Onsen, and Katayamazu Onsen - provide thermal bathing facilities throughout the year.

The winter season brings a particular culinary tradition of Sakaami duck hunting, producing regional meat preparations specific to this area.
