Omicho Market (Kanazawa)

 


This is the second time in Kanazawa, so we are familiar with the station layout and where to go for a good SEAFOOD Bowl - Omicho Market

Nagoya

 



This is the third city, we stay pretty much in the city center, and went in search of "nana's green tea" store where I made a mistake taking the semi express and not local train.

Takaoka Daibutsu

 


This is a side trip, on the way to Kanazawa, this is also the second Daibutsu, the first being in Kamakura. The Daibutsu here is taller than the one in Kamakura but it is less popular.

Autumn During the Storm

 


Somehow, making 2 websites are not adequate to satisfy me for the colors, so this morning I ventured outside around the house within a block and capturing autumn during the storm.

This is the largest Chinatown in the world outside China, about half an hour by train from central Tokyo. We lucked out as today is October 1st, and there will be parade.

The rain threat is there, Pokie wants to go here again, this is the second time in Japan that we go here, I think the last time was 2019.
