Day 9: Kanazawa - Higashi Chaya and Kenrokuen
... plan was to have dinner in one of the old fashioned restaurants in the district. We had two hours to kill before dinner time so i wanted to just throw in the towel and head back to the hotel to catch up on some sleep. Luckily for us Bon convinced me to stay by bribing me with the discovery of a ice cream and dessert store. We killed the time by snacking on local sweets.

Day 8: Shirakawa-go - Koemon Farmhouse
... with a gigantic hearth in the middle of the main floor which was typically used for cooking but today, it became the official hand and foot warmer for all the visitors.

It was good and cheap though and I imagine the Japanese equivalent of a kebab shop. We finished the night off with some more beers on the top floor ...
Last day in the Beautiful city
... are the latest trend at the moment! Everyone is wearing them. I also brought a few other cute trinkets from other stores and 3 pars of shoes. After a lot of hassle and decision making I have the right sizes and colours! We then went to the ninja temple which is very old and is awesome. It is so cleverly thought out. From the outside it looks like a 2 story house but inside there is actually 4 stories and 7 layers. Because it is so only we weren't able to ...
