Arriving by train at Kanazawa, one is struck by the immense size and the beautiful structure of the railway station.
Eateries are plentiful and especially heavy on sweets and bakeries. We found this little fast-food place that served bowls, but only after being there a while did I notice that I was the only female in the fully packed place (other than the staff!) Maybe not fine enough for Japanese women. Reminded me of the days when pubs had public bars and lounges – I always felt more comfortable in the public bar!!!
Huge, well-spaced, bright shopping areas with lovely merchandise are right there within the station and enjoyed by well dressed pups!
The castle
Kenrouken gardens.
Another newly wed couple having photos taken.
Old Kanazawa
Omichi market.
Mostly a huge variety of seafood.
My new best friends – a group of Junior High kids wanted to practice their English! Not quite sure about this guy’s head gear – I think it has some significance??!
