From Shirakawago, I move on by bus for one hour journey to Takayama where I will take train back to Kanazawa.

I took the self tour walking guide map from information counter which near the bus terminal then went to reserve seat for my train ride to Toyama for Kanazawa. I reserve seat for around 5pm train. I think should be enough time for me to walk around this interesting city. Aihhhh!!! Kawaii! Late lunch at nearby Japanese Noodle Shop. This is first time I enter this kind of place for meal.

My feet was still hurt when I reached Kanazawa after exploring and mesmerized with the beautiful nature view of   Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Routes the day before. This doesn't stop me from exploring Kanazawa city on the next day. If Matsumoto is a city popular with Ninja and Samurai, here at Kanazawa popular with Geisha. They even have Geisha district here. Kanazawa is the capital of Ishikawa Prefecture , on Japan's central Honshu. It's also known for its well preserved Edo Period districts, art museums and regional handicrafts. Started my morning walking towards the famous market of Kanazawa, The Omi-cho market. This market was established about the middle of the 18th century. A MUST VISIT place if you at Kanazawa. Its operating hours start around 8:00am and end around 5:00pm. There are around 170 stores including sores sell the fresh fish and seafood caught from the Sea of Japan. I seriously go crazy greedy walking around this market. So much food to samp...
