Our Day 08 itinerary actually has four places we’re checking out: Kenrokuen, Kanazawa Castle Park, Oyama Shrine, then finally Naga-machi District. All four are actually near to each other and within easy walking distance – thought that the weather was chilly when the wind blew, and the snow pellets did make walking from place to place that bit more difficult.
Kanazawa Castle isn’t as immediately striking as the other famous castles in Japan, on account – as I read it – that it’s been burnt down several times in the last 150 years. Still, the remaining structures do still make for memorable pictures, more so as the snowing weather continued today as we left Kenrokuen to make our way to this castle park.
