Tsuruga city and Kanazawa

Set off to Tsuruga city early in the morning which was just a stopover for S's shrine conquest before going to Kanazawa. I was kind of expecting we are doing more at the city beside the shrine but as we walked back to the Tsuruga station all the stores were yet to open. Quite disappointing. 

Kanazawa is the "hottest" destination spot with Japanese this year as the Shinkansen station was opened this year. Hence there are many tv programs that showcase Kanazawa. Booked the french resturant LaChic which was featured in the Japanese tourist book and it was superb! Luckily we managed to make reservation as the restaurant was fully seated after we arrived and it seemed that all of them made reservations as well. I forgot the price but we chose the mid range which was around 1300 yen and we ordered extra dessert which costed 600yen extra. The portion was more than what we expected and the desserts were outstanding. S kept eating non stop and i had to keep my eyes on him in case he finished everything lol.

the only time that gion street was so empty

if only we known about the special bus, might have taken this instead.
