Kanazawa Castle: my Short Escape

A group of participants at a scientific conference in Kobe

Twice in a row I have published an article on travel issues, this does not mean that I am always on the road. By the way, the contents of the cell phone memory are erased, when you delete, move, edit and print to make a travel diary hehehe, even though the moments are so far apart, only the messages are close. My friends and I had planned a trip before, so my friends and I just stopped for scientific meetings.

If I had been in the state of Haigo before, I would have moved to another province, Ishikawa, on the northern coast of Japan, to visit the capital, Kanazawa! My friends and I were busy doing science there, so we only visited 2 places near the center of our science conferences in Kanazawa, so it did not interfere with our program and certainly did not interfere. With our budget. Pockets, hehe. During the baptism, drink tea first.

Kenrokuen Park

It is one of the most spectacular things in Canada. The shape is a park, but we decided to visit these places in the evening. why? It was busy in the morning of the scientific meetings, so in March it seemed that there was a light in Kenroquin Park. Failure is a current phenomenon. Kenrokuyen Park was flooded with floodwaters that night, with a beautiful view of the night.

"Main Attractions"

Of course, the battery is low, but you will never forget the selfie.

The beauty of reflection

To get to this park, you only need to take a bus from downtown. No need to change buses, it costs around 210 yen.

Kenroquian looks very spacious, but she is so tired after a scientific meeting that she is unable to walk completely, and her high-heeled shoes are not able to withstand the rocky and sandy conditions of Cancroke Paradise. Of course, the light is only in a few places, so it is very difficult to reach the dark place of the garden.

Apart from the views and lights in this park, there is not much to visit. It was probably too late so no tents (restaurants) were opened around this park (although we were close by). As a result, a visit to Kenroku Park was unsatisfactory. It was also difficult to find a way to get back home.

Is this place recommended?
I think it is highly recommended to visit in the afternoon or in the morning. Because night vision and backlight are "just like that." In addition to the beautiful lights that have nothing to look at and have fun in some places. Or maybe after sunset the atmosphere is more active and you can visit the food stalls open.

Phrase

• Do not wear high heels! Serious warning!
• Pay attention to transportation methods to get there, it is the main bus in Kanazawa, so you have to pay attention to a good bus schedule, when the last bus arrives, and so on. If you do not want to end up with a very expensive taxi, do not miss it.
• There are many great places to take photos on the Internet, so come in the morning or afternoon and you can take photos everywhere.

The Palace of Kanazawa

After a series of scientific meetings and a few hours before my bus to Kobe, I used my time to stop at the Tower of Kanzawa. The content of the Omicho Ichiba or Omicho Market is close, but I decided not to go to the canopy palace because I did not like food. By the way, when I visit other areas I like to visit historical buildings such as palaces!

Canada's castle is located next to Kenroquian Park. So the story repeats twice in the same place, hehehehe. You only need to take a bus from downtown to get to this place. Or we can take a canada goose outlet bus (it also works for cannabis gardens). My God, this bus does not travel at night. You have to be prepared because buses are often congested, especially on this day there are many science groups, and they are "please" the palace of Kanazawa, because buses are the main means of transportation in the city of Kanazawa.

In general, the castle of Canada is not the same as the castle of Osaka Castle or Okaama Castle because it looks like a fortress. Inside, there is an open wooden corridor with various museum exhibits. And the only thing left to do is to see the palace on the top floor. If I am not mistaken, there is an entrance fee of 310 yen to enter the palace.

There is a large courtyard around the courtyard, various doors and various buildings (you can see a picture of the palace here ). Due to time constraints, I did not have time to inspect the courtyard of the palace in Canada but at first glance it seemed like a lot of fun.

Is this place recommended?
I did not have time to study it all. I was not satisfied, since this palace is not in the form of a magnificent multi-storey tower. Also, this castle doesn't have much prehistoric history of ancient emperors or Japanese (maybe I'm in a hurry and I can't read?), So I don't like it.

Phrase

• Please allow sufficient time as the courtyard of the Kanzawa Palace is very large.
• To make the ticket longer, cheaper, and more convenient for one-time transportation, it is best to visit the Canzawa Castle and Kenrokuen Park at the same time.
• If you do not like the extended palace, you probably do not have to spend money to buy a ticket.

There are other tourist attractions to visit such as Oimicho Market (seafood lovers), Higashi-chaya (for those who love the gesha and Japanese culture) and others. I hope my travel diary can be useful to other travelers.
