Day 9: Kanazawa - Higashi Chaya and Kenrokuen
... t get any better, our server took it one step further. After dinner, she took us on a private tour of the restaurant to areas that are normally off limits to guests. The restaurant, almost 200 years old, has maintained its traditional design and decor. So it was like walking back in time. Our server explained what the different rooms were used for and even took us to a secret chamber in the attic. Finally, when it was time to leave, our waitress rushed ahead of us, went on her ...

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. I also brought Carter a beanie, two pairs of super awesome socks and a pair of tattoo ...
