Traveling on Mitsuboshi Kaidou - Hokuriku Hida Shinshu
Another amazing video by GaijinPot that takes you around the Mitsuboshi Kaidou, which is a well kept secret packed full of scenic spots and experiences surrounded by traditional Japanese culture, that includes the city of Kanazawa in Ishikawa Prefecture, Nanto City in Toyama Prefecture, Shirakawa Village and Takayama City in Gifu Prefecture and Matsumoto City in Nagano Prefecture.
As someone with anxieties, I find the temple visit at Takayama Zenko-ji with the monk to be meaningful and relatable.
Fore more details on the places visited, you can read them here.

Kanazawa : le calme de l’ouest
Après la très tumultueuse Tokyo, nous sommes allés à Kanazawa, une ville de la taille de Nantes à peut prêt, en plus calme. Que de changement après la capitale !
Pas de néon, ni de haut building mais le charme des maisons assez basses, de l’ancien quartier des samouraïs et ses maisons en torchis.

On passe deux nuits à Kanazawa avec une journée à Sarawago, un village de montagne présenté dans un autre billet. Mais pour finir cette journée, nous avons rejoind le bord de mer. Pour cela nous avons pris un petit train, qui traverse les rues au ras des maisons. Au milieu des lycéen•nes, nous ne passons pas inaperçu !
La plage où nous avons été
La plage n’est pas très belle, et malheureusement recouverte de déchets... dans un pays aussi propre que le Japon c’est plutôt étonnant !
Le jour suivant, nous passons la matinée à Kanazawa avant de partir pour Kyoto. Au programme : balade dans le jardin de Kenrokuen, un des trois plus beaux jardins du Japon. Malgré la pluie, cet espace de verdure est magnifique !
Un tout petit extrait des photos du jardin
En face, se dresse le château de Kanazawa où nous ferons seulement le tour.
Depuis les jardins du château
L’étape suivante est le quartier traditionnel de Higashiyama, où les maisons de bois sont devenue un ensemble de magasin et de restaurant
Dans le fameux quartier
Pour conclure notre visite, nous allons au marché d’Omicho. Un marché assez classique où nous côtoyons les habitants et leur habitudes et où nous dégustons des huîtres énormes et du saumon frais ! Un régale !
Le stand où nous avons mangé - difficile de faire plus frais !- et un autre stand de poissons.
Nous repartons de Kanazawa pour Kyoto la tête un peu plus reposée et prête à la découverte du reste du pays !
Hello Kanazawa! You have been too good to me with your plentiful fresh fish offerings. Third thing we did today after arriving in Kanazawa today was go for conveyor belt sushi (the first being me going to collect the stamp and second being buying the tickets for our trip to shirakawa-go tomorrow). This is not your typical shitty conveyor belt sushi you get in the west. Fuck no. It's delicious, fresh, melting fish that gives you pure tongue orgasms. Oh yeah was I one fat kid in a fish store. The place that we went to was called Okura Kaitensushi in Omi-cho market. It's quite a small store and from the outside it didn't look like there was a line. Once we stepped in, there were probably 12 people in front of us waiting their turn. We were the only foreigners, which was definitely a good sign. The line moved quickly enough and soon enough we were seated at the counter and started taking the good stuff off of the conveyor belt. The first thing we got were the scallop sushi and holy crap! IT WAS SO FRESH AND SWEET AND SOFT! Never had something like that before. And that was only the start. It just kept on getting better and better and there was nothing that we took that did not taste great. Even Antti wanted seconds of some dishes. And that boy rarely cares about food! You can see all of the plates we took. It was one of the more expensive meals we've had so far, but it was worth every yen. I can even say that this was a better sushi experience than Yamazaki in Tsukiji-market. And also much cheaper. Should have just went back there for dinner as well. But instead we tried another place, which definitely could not beat Okura. Too bad, we leave at 8:40 tomorrow from Kanazawa. Or else I would've loved to go back and have another round.
