This made life 100% better when I was traveling there:
Kanazawa was an ancient merchant town known for its arts & crafts, as well as its giant castle. It's a beautiful city to add to your Japan travel itinerary!

*How do I get to Kanazawa from Tokyo?*
Traveling from Tokyo to Kanazawa only takes 2.5 hours. In March 2015, the Nagano Shinkansen line opened a new train that runs to Kanazawa station. It’s called Hokuriku Shinkansen. I went from Nagano to Kanazawa which only took a little over one hour.
*21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art*
The free part of the museum is an exhibit on cloth. You can feel the different materials used to make a piece of cloth. I believe the exhibit that is offered for free changes all the time. The outside of the museum has pretty interesting pieces you can look at.
*Kanazawa has cherry blossoms!*
If you missed the cherry blossoms you can still catch the Yaezakura cherry blossoms! It is a multi-layered cherry blossom. Because of the different layers the colors range from light to dark pink.
*Things to Do in Kanazawa*
1) When in Kanazawa, you have to try gold leaf ice cream. Kanazawa produces 99% of all gold leaf in Japan.
2) Kanazawa also has a rich tradition of making amazing craft items. This stems from the 15th century where samurai used to rule the land. They didn’t have any wars to fight and were rich in food and land, so they decided to invest many of their resources into arts and crafts.
Today, Kanazawa has over 400 legendary craftsmen dedicated to 36 different types of arts and crafts. Gold leaf, fireworks, umbrellas and fishing lures are some of the specialties of the area.
3) Chaya Area is a lovely neighborhood of beautifully preserved geisha houses. Many have now been converted into restaurants or teahouses. This place reminded me of Gion in Kyoto. Like here it is also a famous geisha district.
4) Kanazawa Castle
From 1583 to the end of the Edo Period, Kanazawa Castle was the seat of the powerful Maeda Clan, a feudal land second only to the Tokugawa’s lands in terms of size and wealth.
The original castle was burnt down and I didn’t bother to pay to go inside. There isn’t much inside compared to Matsumoto castle. If you haven’t seen my trip to Matsumoto remember to go check that out.
Kanazawa Castle Hours
7:00 to 18:00 (March 1 to October 15)
8:00 to 17:00 (October 16 through February)
5) Kanazawa Tea Ceremony
If you want a real tea ceremony experience, they have one here.
This exquisite private garden and tea house was reconstructed based on the original floor plans and opened in 2015. It’s one of the prettiest places in Japan in my opinion, and drinking matcha tea in the tea house while looking out at the view is a special experience.
On Friday and Saturday nights, they open the garden and light it up. I didn’t get to do that this trip but I read that it is a beautiful sight.
6) Omnicho Market
I couldn’t just leave without experiencing this market. So before I left Kanazawa, I had to stop by this market to take a look.
This place reminds me of Nishiki market in Kyoto, just not as big and crowded. It’s also maze like with a bunch of small coordinators snaking around everywhere.
I loved the big, raw oysters here. You can add your sauces on it and it only costs 500 yen. I also got the calm which was disappointing and fishy.
7) Eat Kanazawa Curry
I came here because it was conveniently located inside Kanazawa train station and Go Go curry is a famous brand. I’ve never tried Kanazawa styled curry before. Kanazawa curry has some specific attributes: it needs to be thick and gooey and is often sweet. It’s served with shredded cabbage and curry entirely covers the rice. It’s traditionally eaten in a stainless steel bowl and a fork and a spoon (or even a spork).

Sapporo Travel Guide
【Text and description in this video】
10th white sweetheart park Sapporo city
Speaking of sweets that represent Hokkaido, white lover is. It is also a staple among Hokkaido souvenirs. Known for its ability to visit Ishiya Confectionery, a manufacturer, White Lover Park is a popular tourist spot, including plant tours and cookies making experience with children. I also pay attention to sweets and souvenirs that can only be found here.
9th Banei Tokachi Obihiro Racecourse Obihiro City
A race that competes for speed and power while riding a sleigh is called a Bangei race, but it seems to be the only public competition in Japan. Here at Obihiro Racecourse, you can see how large farm horses compete in close proximity.
8th Shiretoko Five Lakes Shari-gun Shari-cho
Shiretoko, located in Shari-cho, Hokkaido, is a place where you can see unique ecosystems and magnificent nature that can not be seen anywhere else in Japan. It is also registered as a World Natural Heritage site, and the Shiretoko Five Lakes with the names from One Lake to Five Lakes reflect the sky and mountains on the water surface, and you can see a very beautiful sight. It is a very popular tourist spot that you want to visit by mast when you come to Hokkaido. However, be careful as you may encounter a brown bear.
7th Lake Akan Kushiro City
It is Akanko (Akanko) in Akan National Park in eastern Hokkaido. At Akan Lake, which boasts one of the largest sizes in Hokkaido, you can feel the magnificent nature of Hokkaido. In winter, the surface of the lake freezes and you can experience natural smelt fishing, etc. You can also have smelt fish that you have tempered.
6th Goryokaku Park Hakodate City
There are many spots where you can feel the historical romance, such as the restored Hakodate votive office, in Gyogokaku created by the Edo Shogunate in the late Edo period. It is also a popular spot for history lovers. Cherry blossoms are very beautiful in spring, and seasonal scenery such as colored leaves and snow scene is also a highlight.
5th Hitsujigaoka Observatory Sapporo, Hokkaido
The Hitsujigaoka Observatory can be accessed easily from Sapporo by bus, making it easy to visit even when sightseeing in Hokkaido in a short period of time. You can experience the majestic nature of Hokkaido, and a statue of Dr. Clark, famous for Boys, be ambitious!, Is also built.
4th Odori Park Sapporo City
Speaking of Sapporo's famous events, it is the snow and ice festival Sapporo Snow Festival held every February. In fact, it is the “Odori Park” here that you can enjoy the wonderful snow statue that entertains many people every year. Odori Park, which divides Sapporo's town from north to south, is now bustling as an event venue and a place for citizens to relax.
3rd Farm Tomita Naka-Fura Nakano Furano-cho
Kamifurano-cho Farm Tomita is a place where you can enjoy the beautiful lavender fields spread across the hill. Speaking of Hokkaido, there are many people who think of this landscape, isn't it? The peak of the peak is usually seen from the middle of July to the end of July, and many foreign tourists visit during the season. I would like Lavender software to come here too.
2nd Otaru canal Otaru City
Otaru has been an important city for the people of Hokkaido since the pioneering era of Hokkaido. Otaru Port has developed as a gateway to Hokkaido development and is still a popular tourist attraction in Otaru. The gas-fired fire at dusk is so fantastic that it looks like a movie scene. You can enjoy the excellent atmosphere just by taking a leisurely walk, and the Otaru canal with winter snow is also romantic and wonderful.
1st A night view seen from Mount Hakodate Hakodate City
The dominating first place is the night view seen from Mt. Hakodate! Of course the daytime scenery where the harbor and the town are clear is also beautiful, but when it comes to Hokkaido, the night view from this Hakodate mountain can not be fogged. Aim at the summit with a ropeway, and the view seen from there is breathtaking. Hakodate is not a big city, but the contrast between the city lights and the jet-black sea is a beauty that can not be tasted elsewhere.

An onsen paradise bringing together famous hot springs starting with Kusatsu; it is also known for the World Heritage site of the Tomioka Silk Mill
Area Characteristics
Gunma Prefecture which is located in the northern Kanto region is rich in onsen. Numbering more than 180, the prefecture is known for its numerous famous hot springs among which are the big 4 onsen of Kusatsu, Ikaho, Minakami and Shima in the north followed by other major springs such as Manza and Sarugakyo. There are natural features such as the Special Natural Monument of Oze and the southern Mt. Akagi whose plains at the bottom are the 2nd-longest in the nation after those of Mt. Fuji, so it is an area that is surrounded in onsen and natural beauty. Japan’s first silk mill in the city of Tomioka was registered in 2014 as a part of the World Heritage site known as the Tomioka Silk Mill and Related Sites. There is good access to Gunma from the capital and the prefecture is popular as an easy tourist destination for a day trip or an overnight stay.
Major Sites
Kusatsu is a popular sightseeing spot as it is one of the Top 3 Onsen in Japan boasting the largest output of natural water in the country. There are also other tourist spots such as a hot spring area where mineral deposits are harvested and a dry riverbed in the west. Along with Shima Onsen, there are also other famous springs such as Manza Onsen which is located at an altitude of 1800m and Oigami Onsen which is near Oze. The onsen can be enjoyed along with winter sports. The Kiryu Textile Memorial Hall which displays 1300-year-old Kiryu textiles deserves to be seen along with a trip to Tomioka Silk Mill. As well, other sites include Gunma Safari Park and Mt. Myogi which has been selected as one of Japan’s Top 100 Views.
Food
Konnyaku (a jelly made from the konjac plant) is a Gunma specialty. At Konnyaku Park, you can enjoy a tour of the factory and a buffet. During the festivals, there are the ever-present yaki-manju buns at the food stalls, and the popular three big udon of Gunma: Mizuzawa Udon, Tatebayashi Udon and Kiryu Udon. As souvenirs, Gateau Rusk and Shimonita Green Onion Crackers are famous.
Transportation
Accessing Gunma through Takasaki is convenient. The city can be reached from Tokyo Station within about 50 minutes via the Joetsu Shinkansen (Bullet Train). From there, you can take a bus to reach Kusatsu and Ikaho. It is usual to drive around the area by rental car.
Accommodations
Of course, there are accommodations at the big 4 onsen as well as in the onsen areas of Shibukawa, Oigami, Manza and Sarugakyo and the highlands including Kita-Karuizawa. Also, there are many such facilities in the areas around easily accessible Takasaki and Maebashi.

How This Town Produces No Trash
Watch the next episode about Lauren Singer, who produced only a jar's worth of trash in 2 years:
Subscribe!
In 2003, the local government in Kamikatsu, Japan decided to require that all residents comply with a new, rigorous recycling program - perhaps the most rigorous in the world.
Since then, the town composts, recycles, or reuses 80% of its garbage. It may not technically be 100% zero waste, as the remaining 20% goes into the landfill, but it's a remarkable achievement for an entire community, in such a short amount of time. The impacts have been positive - cutting costs for the community drastically, as well as improving the conditions of the lush and beautiful environment that surrounds the town in Southeast Japan.
Residents must wash and sort virtually anything that is non-compostable in their household before bringing it to the recycling sorting center. Shampoo bottles, caps, cans, razors, styrofoam meat trays, water bottles...the list goes on and on (literally) into 34 categories. At the sorting center, labels on each bin indicate the recycling process for that specific item - how it will be recycled, what it will become, and how much that process can cost (or even earn). It's an education process for the consumer.
All kitchen scraps must be composted at home, as the town has no garbage trucks or collectors.
And as for other items, reuse is heavily encouraged. According to Akira Sakano, Deputy Chief Officer at Zero Waste Academy in Kamikatsu, the town has a kuru-kuru shop where residents can bring in used items and take things home for free. There is also a kuru-kuru factory, where local women make bags and clothes out of discarded items.
At first, it was difficult to be come accustomed to the new rules. It can be a pain, and at first we were opposed to the idea, says resident, Hatsue Katayama. If you get used to it, it becomes normal.
Now, it's even being noticed within Kamikatsu's businesses. The first zero-waste brewery has opened in Kamikatsu, called Rise and Win Brewery. The brewery itself is constructed of reused materials and environmentally friendly finishes. By 2020, Kamikatsu hopes to be 100% zero waste, with no use of landfills, and to forge connections with other like-minded communities in the world, spreading the practice of zero-waste.

Most Shady Place in Japan: Kabukicho, Shinjuku | Tokyo's Red Light District
Shinjuku is one of the most famous metropolitan cities in Tokyo. It is also a great place to grab some drinks with friends. However, there are a few areas that can be a little dangerous if you don't know what to look out for. Kabukicho, Shinjuku's Red Light District and home of the Robot Restaurant, is one of those areas. Kabukicho is an area filled with bars, restaurants, host and hostess clubs, as well as love hotels. Kabukicho's name came from the late 40's plan to build kabuki theater in that area, that while was not built, the name stuck. One of the dangerous things about Kabukicho is the kyaku-hiki or pulling in of customers by staff of hostess clubs and certain bars. There are a few clubs and bars that will overcharge for drinks, have hidden fees, or worst case scenario slip drugs into your drinks. While this is a rare occurance, it does happen and can cause some real problems for those that cannot speak Japanese. Kabukicho isn't all bad, but if you do end up there just make sure to be careful.

How Safe is Kabukicho? - Dangerous Areas in Tokyo
Kabukicho is often called the bad area of Tokyo - but is it really dangerous to visit? I went to Kabukicho to see what it's like, and see if it feels safe.
Kabukicho is Tokyo's red light district. It's an area of Shinjuku with lots of bars, restaurants and karaoke - as well as love hotels, host bars and more sketchy establishments. However, as a foreigner or tourist just walking through, there's no reason to be scared of going to Kabukicho and walking around. Obviously, use your common sense, but you're only going to get into trouble if you go into a dodgy bar or let the touts entice you in. Crime levels in Japan are low and there aren't really any dodgy areas in Tokyo that you need to avoid.
