1st Day in Kanazawa Garden & Historic District

We woke up early and went for a walk through the Omichi market which was a short walk from our hotel.  It was early so shop keepers, mainly fish sellers, were busy setting up.

Here are some fish:

An assortment of sweet potatoes.  I thought there were only 3 different types, but clearly there are way more than that:

After breakfast, we visited Kenrokuen garden in Kanazawa, one of the most famous gardens in Japan.  That reputation is well deserved based on our short visit.  Here we are across from the garden:

While we were in the garden, weran into my sister Ellen and her husband Lawrence.  We knew they were in Japan at the same time as us but never thought that our paths would cross. Here are the three of us siblings:


I like the moss covering the root ball of this tree:

We next visited an area of old wooden buildings, here being watched over by Joe:
