This is my 5th visit to Japan. It is also one that I had the most number of days there; and making the most number of moves around the country on its public transport. Appreciate Chai Noi for initiating the trip and making the transport arrangements such as the Flight and JR Ticket, and being the accommodating room mate. Thanks to Teck Siew for her thoughtful and thorough planning and travelling tips that allowed me to venture into new places without the need to do much pre-trip planning. Grateful to Juejing, for his patience and for being a very reliable human GPS (at times, even better than GoogleMap)! Of course, a big thank you to the great company of the Wong and Koh families, too :)

(D4) Kanazawa


Breakfast @ Travel Cafe in Hotel


Nice half-sandwich with shrimp salad.

Lunch @ Omicho Market



My impression was soba comes in cold (冷面)🍜. Here, hot soba is common here!




Dinner

Yeah! Cooking our own dinner - Hot plate cooking, Okonomiyaki!





It's ready! Yummy!



The maneki-neko (Japanese: 招き猫 , literally "beckoning cat") 招财猫 is a common Japanese figurine (lucky charm, talisman) which is often believed to bring good luck to the owner. In modern times, they are usually made of ceramic or plastic.

The white is one is most common. However, the black one caught my attention!
According to wikipedia, black is meant to lure away evil spirits.


Moving around in Kanawaza is made easy with the well networked bus services; and plenty of information is available - as long as one is patient enough to read and plan.

With the JR Pass, we can take the JR bus services without additional payment.


The one-day pass brought us to the major attractions in Kanazawa city.


It is interesting to note that the passengers will board the bus from the middle entrance (door) and alight at the front door. Being the pass holder, we simply need to show our card to the driver as we alight at the front door.
