Continuation of Japan Trip

Mich~
Our focus now shifts back to Japan...continuation of Day 3...
The next stop was Tojimbo, and we visited this shop which sells different kinds of pottery. The potteries were very exquisite and delicate, but would be too expensive for us to bring them home...i suppose I wouldn't bear to use them too...

"Nice" prices too....

Thereafter, we proceeded to Kagahan, touring a place which sells a variety of Japanese sweets. The nice thing about this shop was that the staff would generously allow guests to try their Japanese sweets, serving you in a delightful and polite manner. Thus, by the time we left the shop, our stomachs were pretty full from all the FOC trying. Pity that we did not get to buy any of the sweets home 'cos the sweets would only last for about 2 days.

Next, we visited Kenrokuen in Kanazawa city, one of the 3 great gardens of Japan. Guess what? By the time we reach the garden, it started to.....SNOW!! We were getting zealous at the sight of snow flakes, playing around the garden like little kids on an excursion. The garden exudes charm and peace, coupled with interesting structures built in the olden days.

Oh my!! Snow...haha....

After a hearty lunch, we proceeded to Shirakawa-go, a world heritage site housing old farmhouses with steep roofs, resembling two hands folded for a prayer. The whole area was covered with white fluffy snow by the time we reach there. Once again, we toured the houses like eager children, awaiting to discover every nook and cranny of the area. At times, we would play amongst ourselves with the snow, and at other times, we would busy ourselves with capturing all the wonderful moments in our cameras. I could sense that everyone of us was reluctant to leave the place, because we were having a fun time there, away from the bustle of the city life.
