21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa

On the last day of our trip to Ishikawa Prefecture. Under the cold shower, it was just the right day to visit a museum. Recommendation from a good friend who lives in Kaga Hot Spring, just 1h journey from Kanazawa towards the mountaneous inland area.

Kaga-Onsen (Kaga Hotspring) in Ishikawa Pref.

Journey to Ishikawa was what I was longing for for many years. The main object was to see a good friend of mine who used to hang out together in Saigon.


Nata-dera (temple), was famous for its autmn leaves.
And of course, the trip was full of seduce for our tummy....

At my friend's mother's Chinese restaurant, Ku-nyan, Yamanaka Onsen.Gyoza (fried dumplings), Ramen (noodle in soup) and Kara-age (deep-fried chicken) were deliciooouuuus! Forget about fat!

For our dinner on last day, we had a farewell meal at Ichiriki, where my friend's husband works.
Seafood was so fresh and everything was so exquisite... especially when they were shared with good friends!!

Thank you again for your host!
