Oyama Shrine
Kanazawa shrines parks restaurants
Kanazawa shrines parks restaurants kept me very busy for the short time I was in this interesting city. This was my first stop after 3 nights in Tokyo on my 7 city Shinkansen adventure.
The Oyama Shrine gate originally guarded the entrance of Kanazawa Castle, and was later moved to Oyama Shrine.

The Oyama Shrine is in the heart of the city only 7 minutes walk from my hotel. First established in 1599 and moved to its present location in 1873.
I stumbled on a little princess
You won’t see too many sweeter young Japanese girls as this little princess. I almost had to beg to get this great photo. 🙂

People having fun in Central park
A sunny day without a cloud in the sky, so lets go to the park.
Central park is between the main city street & the castle, there were some Hawaiian dancers entetaining the crowd.
Tere is a cute little Japanese girl here stealing the limelight from the Hawaiian dancers.
Wedding
The Museum of Cultural Exchange is also in Central park, a wedding reception was about to begin in the restaurant.
Gorgeous girls
The girls look absolutely gorgeous dressed in Kimonos.
The bikers come to town
These fabulous looking machines were parked on the footpath outside my hotel. Very expensive looking machines.
Kanazawa parking
Making the most of the available space.
Kanazawa railway station
A very modern railway station, almost a work of art.
Department store
Most cities I have visited in Japan all seem to have at least one department store at the railway station.
Lunch boxes
Naturally I purchases one of these salmon roe or caviar, whatever you wish to call it, absolutely delicious. I ate it on my way to Hiroshima on the shinkansen.
Yakitori tour of Japan 🙂
This should be the name of my holiday, I was always searching for good Yakitori restaurants.
Yakitori no Meimon Akiyoshi was the restaurants name.
There are 2,969 restaurants in Kanazawa & tripAdvisor rated this one 426th.
