Kaga (加賀市 Kaga-shi) is a city located in the southwest of Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan.
Created as an old temple town, the city was greatly developed by the Maeda clan in the early Edo period. The modern city was first incorporated on January 1, 1958, and then expanded on October 1, 2005 through a merger with the town of Yamanaka, from Enuma District.
Today, Kaga is an important tourist city with a number of temples and hot-springs.
