"Kanazawa" Kanazawa by blackinjpn

My wife was 6 month pregnant and we thinking to set our last trip before my baby come!

...

We found advertising to travelling inside Japan with reasonable price and cover 3 prefecture at once!... what an offer! this trip will be our first experience to joint in tour group (japanese tour group) normally we do hate trip with group because of the limit time and visiting souvenir shops!

We left home (kawagoe) with very first train to catch another station (Ueno), what amazing even still 5 am but japan's train station already crowded.

From Ueno by sinkansen (the bullet train) we head to Nagano, and changed the transport with bus!

the real trip its just start now:

Wonderful view of snowy forest and great damn... until we reach shirokawago to see the ancient japanese village where all the houses still made by wood and the roof are made by grass.

First day trip (8 hours driving) is ended at a nice hotel and spa at Ishikawa area.

Next day trip continue to kanazawa botanical park and saw old kanazawa town... some fish market and rocky beach!

Another 8 hours bus trip head to crossing Niigata prefecture.

We back home at midnight...
