Beautiful! Kanazawa
The year before last my daughters took my wife and me to Beijing for our wedding anniversary, and they took us to Okinawa as my birthday present last year. This year, Yumi and my wife Kazuyo hoped to go to 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa (http://www.kanazawa21.jp/en/). Let's each pay a four, this time. It's not a present for me.
In the early morning, October 30, we went to Kanazawa through Meishin and Hokuriku Expressway. We arrived at 21st Century Museum at 10 a.m. It took about five hours from Osaka by car. We visited Kenroku-en first. Kenroku-en that is one of the three most beautiful gardens in Japan was close to the museum (http://www.pref.ishikawa.jp/siro-niwa/kenrokuen/e/about.html). I've been there once long time ago. There were many foreign tourists. Chinese tourists were speaking loudly. Please speak in a quiet manner.
After that, Yumi insisted to go to Ohmi-cho Market for lunch (http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e4207.html). Yumi told us the kaisen-donburi, a bowl of rice topped with sashimi, was famous there. We went back to the underground parking area of the museum and went to the market. It took about several minutes by car. The market was very busy and exciting. There were a lot of shops along the narrow streets. The feature is the local fresh seafood. The kaisen-donburi was not expensive but delicious. I forgot to take pictures of the market.
21st Century Museum was beautiful and wonderful (http://www.kanazawa21.jp/en/).
After enjoying watching a current exhibition, we went to the swimming pool that was one of the permanent exhibits and very popular. People under the water looked like they were swimming in the water and people under the water was able to observe people on the ground. It was fun!
After Chisato bought some souvenirs, we got rest at a cafe in the museum. The scenery from the cafe was nice but the price was not cheap.
We arrived at an inn after sunset in Yamanaka Onsen or Yamanaka Hot Spring (http://www.yamanaka-spa.or.jp/english/welcome/index.html). It took about one hour from Kanazawa. Chisato loves a hot spring very much. The customer in this big inn was only us because of weekdays. The dinner was good and Chisato and I drank a little, of course the hot spring was wonderful.
Next day we walked for a while around Yamanaka Onsen and the street.
On the way home we visited Eihei-ji Temple in Fukui that is the center of Japanese Zen Buddhism.
I paid all the expressway toll and gas money of this family trip. Why?
