My Japan Tour photoset 4/? –

Kanazawa

  1. The Kanazawa Castle next to
    Kenrokuen Garden, the third most beautiful garden in Japan.
  2. Pariculars.
  3. In the
    Kenrokuen

    Garden we repeatedly lost the direction and we ended
    going around in circles for hours even though we had a map.

  4. Gyokusen-inmaru Garden next to
    Kanazawa Castle Park.

  5. Grilled squid and meatballs with vegetables bought in Omicho Market.

Kanazawa was a nice surprise for me, I really liked the atmosphere there. We also had the chance to find the Japanese
Oktoberfest one night end the next day to listen to a few
Acapella groups involved in a large competition.

My Japan Tour photoset 3/? – Shirakawago

  • This Historic Village is
    one of Japan’s UNESCO World Heritage Sites. This was an interesting trip and one of the things that impressed me the most was the fact that lots of typical houses were still inhabitated. Also the climbing we made to reach the panoramic view point was fun!

My Japan Tour photoset 2/? – Takayama

  1. Ceramics, one of the many remarkable things about Takayama. I would have loved to buy a few pieces, but everything was so expensive!
  2. The city is also famous for its summer festivals, but we arrived when everything was already ended, the majority of stores were closed and the city was empty. Nice timing.
  3. Sakurayama Hachimangu Shrine

    entrance.

  4. Detail of
    Daiohji Temple area, part of the
    Higashiyama Walking Course.
  5. Good stuff.
  6. The “Triple Pagoda“ in the
    Hida Kokubunji Temple.

If I’ll have the chance to visit Japan again I would totally go during spring or early in the summer when the festivals are still around and this city will be a required stop!

My Japan Tour photoset 1/? – Tokyo

  1. Tokyo Tower
  2. View from the Tokyo Tower
  3. Akihabara’s UDX
  4. Toranoana and Taito Station
  5. THE WELL-KNOWN STAIRS (because of road works in the whole area I couldn’t take pictures from the bottom of the street just from the top and I had to reach the Shrine from the side but then I walked down and up the stairs where walking was allowed)
  6. Kanda Myojin
  7. Particulars
  8. Pork ramen, rice, fried chicken and gyoza

I’m back!

Hello! I’m back from my two weeks tour in Japan. It was great! I visited a lot of places and still coudn’t visited some, I hope one day to be able to visit Japan again! I’m exhausted and super tired right now, but I had a lot of fun and everything was super interesting! The food was great too! I’ll post some photos in the next few days.

bought

some Love Live material. Nice.)
