It was a rainy day but became fine too.

I started the day with laughter yoga.

First we went to have lunch at a Sushi restaurant in Toyama. It was a nice experience.

Next we visited Kosokotai jingu shrine where there are enshrined 126 gods. The way of procedure of praying is different from other shrines. Usually we bow twice and clap twice and once bow again. But there we did four bows and 8 claps.

The yellow and red leaves were so beautiful.

Third we visited a park where there is the most beautiful Starbucks. It seems it is beautiful at night.

Fourth we visited the Sake brewer. There was a surprise there.

Fifth we went to have dinner at the same restaurant as yesterday.

There were lots of dishes and I could not finish all.

It was another nice day.

When I got up, it was snowing and very beautiful.

We ate big breakfast and left Gokayama at 8:30 and headed for Kanazawa. It took about one hour. I walked around Higashi chaya gai, then had dressed and hairset. And we got on a jinrikisha (人力車) and looked around the city. Then we visited Omi market where I bought something I wanted to taste.
After that we had a bigger lunch, and visited Kenrokuen where is one of the three most beautiful gardens in Japan.

And we headed for Yamanaka onsen hotspring.  After arriving at the hotel, I visited Hattori Shrine. I felt destiny because my mother's maiden name is Hattori. We had the biggest dinner party with songs and dances and lots of entertainment.

It was a nice day.
