Kanazawa City

On the west coast of Japan now.  Kanazawa is a city famous for it's park and old districts for samurai lords and geisha districts still intact as they escaped bombing and fires which riddled Japan's history.

Has been warming up quite fast away from the mountains so plum blossoms are just starting to spring up.  They're not cherry blossoms but they are similar.  To those who don't know what to look for they look pretty much the same but the life of the cherry blossom is much more fleeting.  Got some great photos today I'll behave and share only a few.















One of the samurai houses you could walk around in.  It had a garden which was rated 3rd best in Japan. With waterfalls and enough tranquility to make you destress about everything.  And I wasn't even stressed!
