We started our journey in Hokkaido and then travelled down to Tokyo. From Tokyo, we headed to the underrated Kanazawa. We explored Kanazawa on foot, clocking over 20,000 steps daily. The best way to explore a place is by foot. Our first day in Kanazawa was amazing. We travelled from Tokyo to Kanazawa by Shinkansen, which is super convenient. It only took us about 2 hours.
Using the Shinkansen is convenient as it eliminates all check-in time at the airport and the wait time for departure and arrival. On our first day in Kanazawa, it was raining, but on the positive side, we witnessed the beautiful Kanazawa town. You get to see a different side of it when it rains. It is a beautiful and unique town.
What is amazing about Kanazawa? It is all about the traditional buildings, being away from urban life, beautiful scenery, and getting to know the history and culture of this town. We explored most of the town area in Kanazawa on our first day, including:
It's really raining today, just checked into our hotel, have a shower, now I just wanted
to explore the town. It's different, this place is really like traditional looking,
pretty much quiet today, rainy season in June, but you know, not complaining.
One thing I realized about the shops here, well-preserved,
man, I would expect to find something in this town.
traditional houses and we are just entering the area at the moment,
But I'm very sure in spring or during the sunny day, even in winter, this place will look
absolutely stunning. Man, it's already stunning, but it's just raining today, so
main city center, more of these traditional shops.
got here by bus from Kanazawa, one-way ticket cost about 2600 yen per person
and we are about to explore this village.
They are cooking something inside.
We are going to the opposite terrain, Kawago, let's see, apparently it's 440 meters to the top.
Just up there, we are here.
So we didn't take the bus from Kanazawa to Takayama because we have a JR pass,
so we took a JR pass by JR train, but there's a few stops that we need to pay extra,
that doesn't cover in our JR pass. Now we are finding our way to the old town.
Aviation is free.
Wow, smells so good.
Maybe they are closed, are they closed? I think they are open. Interesting huh?
That bottle looks like Kikkoman.
Let's go.
You spew some.
There's a premium one here. This one? We haven't tried. Oh, this one won the sake awards.
I don't know whether it's this one. I'll try the premium one. I don't know if this is premium or not.
