Ah, so it’s finally happening! As of about two weeks ago I found out that I am definitely absolutely going to Japan this summer! I couldn’t be more excited, and my goal here is to have a journal to share my experiences with all of you. This is sort of a prologue to the actual trip, seeing as though I won’t be boarding my plane to Tokyo until May 27th.
Kanazawa Castle （金沢城）
As I’ve indicated, the city that I will be spending two months in is called Kanazawa. Surprisingly I had never heard of it before, despite it being a very large and prominent city. Here is a very nice youtube video (if you’re willing to spend 20 minutes) describing some of the focal points of the city. The classical music about 3 minutes in is a very nice touch too :)
Other than that, I’ll just add a few pictures for the time being. Later on I’ll discuss things in a little more detail.
