After breakfast we are going to Kanazawa, visit one of the best park in Japan. Kanazawa Kenrokuen (kanazawa Garden), beside there's Mito'sKairakuen and Okayama Kenrakuen. The spacious garden used to be the outer garden of Kanazawa Castle. Constructed by the rulling Maeda Family over a period of nearly two centuries, it was not opened to the public until 1871. The name of Kenrokuen literally means " Garden of the six Sublimities" referring to spaciousness ( luasnya sekitar 11 hektar), seclucion, artificiality, antiquity, abundant water and broad views, which according to Chinese landscape theory are the six essential attributes that make up a perfect garden ( source: http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e4200.html).
In this Garden there are various ponds, streams, waterfall, bridges, teahouses, trees, stones and flowers. I wished when i came in there cherry blossom would be blossom. But, unlucky me Sakura ( cherry blossom) didn't make it today. So this Garden not so special for me... Btw, the water for the many streams and rivers of the park is diverted from a distant river by a sophisticated water system constructed in 1632
you can see the trees behind me it supposed to be Cherry blossom trees :'(
when they blossom, this garden would be so perfect!!!
after spent 1 and half hour walked in this Garden, it's time to back to our Bus.
In my way to parking lot, i met this two sweet Japanese girls and asked one of them to took picture together :)

Then we were heading to our next destination, The Samurai Residence in Nagamachi... Nagamachi was a samurai district located at the foot of the former Kanazawa Castle, where samurai and their families used to reside. The area preserves a historic atmosphere with its remaining samurai residences, earthen walls, private entrance gates, narrow lanes and water canal. |

Rasanyaaa damai banget!!! So peace and calm, we can hear the water drops, the sing of wind, and saw the green of trees and i found bonsai in here.
a plum tree bonsai!
uniknya lagi, pohon plum itu sedang berbunga, dan bunganya sepintas mirip sakura.
Perjalanan selanjutnya menuju tempat permbuatan gold foil. Kertas emas yang di produksi Hakuza store ini sangat bagus kualitasnya, ada sebuah ruangan contoh dimana seluruh dindingnya dilapisi oleh emas. Mereka menjual berbagai macam aksesoris berlapiskan emas dan produk kecantikan seperti Hand body lotion made from Gold, face oil paper from gold and face gold paper. penggunaannya cukup mudah, setelah wajah dibersihkan, diberi pelembab seperti biasa kemudian, gold foil tersebut di tempelkan dan secara perlahan di pijat dengan lembut hingga emas tersebut meresap ke dalam kulit. God foil ini dapat membuat wajah berkilau dan bersinar. Tertarik untuk mecoba, saya membeli 1 set yang terdiri dari 20 sheet of paper.
Dari Hakuza store of gold foil kami menuju ke Hagashi chaya, yang dulunya merupakan house of tea. Chaya is a traditional place of feast and entertainment, where geisha ( traditional female japanese entertainers) have been entertaining people by performing dances and playing music instruments since Edo period. These Chaya houses were mived into four district distant from central part in 1820. And the largest one of the Chaya districts in Kanazawa is the Higashi Chaya district.
When i came to Chaya, just a few bunch people outside my group tour which came in here. there are so many tea houses, souvenir shops and cake shop. I found a Baukumchen cake shop but i didn't buy it.
Along the way to see the cultural assets i found some happines inside me... just stood up in the alley and feel the spring breeze. well, I am fall in love with Japan since i was a kid and it's grows faster now :D
