On April 13th, 2008, 70 students and UMEX members (Local Association) went to Kanazawa to enjoy the sakuras as well as the panoramic view of the kenrokuen.
We stayed there only for a bit more than 2 hours. However the trip there took 4 hours by bus - ONE WAY!!! Nevertheless, with the entertaining antics by fellow 'graduate' students as well providing yours truly to practise my broken and limited japanese - the trip of 8 hours to and fro was worth it. Especially when you consider the awesome pictures we took. The picture of the sea was taken on our way back to Urasa - so it is no longer in Kanazawa
If anyone visiting Tokyo for a short time, thus limiting the chances to go to Kyoto - do give Kanazawa a try as it is being promoted as the 2nd Kyoto. In my opinion, Kyoto is still the best - however, Kanazawa certainly provide a good alternative if you are short on time.
