3rd visit to Kanazawa in mid-Nov.  Took Hokuriku Shinkansen from Tokyo again – smooth and easy in 2.5 hrs direct.  Stayed for 1 day before heading to Kaga onsen.

Kenroku-en

One of the three famous gardens in Japan. Koyo was even more brilliant compared to our last visit in 2015 (which was one week earlier).

Kanazawa castle

just opposite to Kenroku-en – not to be missed.

Kaga onsen hotel

30min by JR express train from Kanazawa. There are several onsen towns in Kaga onsen. This was our first visit where we stayed in Yamashiro onsen.
