Day 9: Kanazawa - Higashi Chaya and Kenrokuen
... in minutes, you devour it and you go. Fast, tasty, filling and cheap. Perfect for us who were in a rush to go see the many attractions that the city has to offer. First stop, the famous Kenrokuen garden, situated in the heart of the city just next to the Castle. The garden fell short of our expectations. Maybe the travel books just overhyped it too much or maybe it was poor timing. The leaves on most the trees have already fallen so the colours didn't come anywhere close to ...

We also checked out an olde tea house in the Geisha district. This was pretty mundane. It felt like the Japanese are happier about the fact they were ...
Last day in the Beautiful city
... ventured next door which was an arts and crafts museum. It too had so many handmade beautiful things. There were also many great things in the shop but unfortunately I didn't buy anything. After the little tiki tour in the morning we had free time to do what we wanted. I went shopping for gifts today. I got quite a few things in the hyaku en store that are cute.
