Kanazawa Trip

20-21 September 2009 :: Kanazawa Trip

Day 1

B'coz this time is long holiday called Silver Weekend in Japan, I went here to Kanazawa (金沢市). Kanazawa is the capital city of Ishigawa Prefecture. It sits on the Sea of Japan.

First, I took Nankai line to Namba eki, then took subway Midosuji Line to Osaka eki, after that, I can't remember the name of train, to Kanazawa. There's no more reserved seat ticket there, anyway, it's not crowded, so I could find the seat to sit.



From Osaka Station at 9.15 to Kanazawa Station at 12.03.

Eig is my friend there. She's studying at Kanazawa University.



She took me to the Sushi Restaurant. It's very delicious. The price was depend on the color of sushi's dish.













Then, we walked around the market. There're many seafood and restaurants.







We walked to the Oyama Shrine.

Kanazawa City

Next, we walked around 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa http://www.kanazawa21.jp/en/

Then, we walked to Kenrokuen Garden. Kenrokuen Garden is the landmark symbol of this city.

Because there're many people there so we just ate ice dessert, then we walked to the bus stop and took a bus to the dorm. I met P'Arin. Then, we went to Jusco to buy food together.
