This picture was taken at the Myōryū-ji temple in Kanazawa – also called the Ninja temple for its many hidden staircases, escape routes, secret chambers, concealed tunnels and trick doors.

Shopping at Iza

Iza is the supermarket at Mikuni.
You could spend hours looking at the stands. Here is just a short selection. Enjoy!

Mikuni-Ko

The time had come: SUSHI TIME!
For the first time on this trip, we had fresh sushi at Mikuni-Ko.
Unforgettable!
30 plats later we rested our case and pronounced the verdict: this is THE best Sushi restaurant ever.
