Kanazawa and Toyama

We left Kyoto and headed for the Sea of Japan. First stop was Kanazawa, which boast some of the best seafood on the world. Omicho Market has some of the biggest and most delicious oysters I've ever had among other delicacies. 

We strolled they Edo-era samurai streets and houses and eventually ended up at the Orient Brewery for a traditional snack of microbrews and bacon. 

Toyama is a 30 minute train ride from Kanazawa and is a smaller coastal town with views of the snow-capped Tateyama mountains. It is much more low key than our other stops and gave us an opportunity for much needed Udon noodles, karaoke, and a soak in the Onsen bath! 

See you in China!
