kanazawa

Like Takayama, Kanazawa is a little off the path of most foreign tourists, but with one of the most famous gardens in Japan, the garden-loving Japanese come here to get a bit of the "old Japan."


Kanazawa Station is currently under construction to welcome the new Shinkansen track, which will be finished next year.


Kanazawa also has a castle adjacent to Kenroku-en, the famous garden.


The grounds were huge...


but idyllic.


 Kanazawa is also famous for its preserved teahouse districts. It was like stepping back in time.


Kanazawa is next to the sea, so of course, we had to sample some seafood!





Next, my favorite: Kyoto! Again!
