Episode 234 - The String That Drew Us Back






These photos were taken at Kenroku-en Garden and the nearby Kanazawa Castle during our summer journey.   For Judith and myself, that was our second visit to these two locations.  The first visit was made some 30 years ago!

The Kanazawa city has changed substantively since our first visit.  The railway station is now modernized and a number of high rise buildings have been erected around it - it is no longer the traditional Japanese city in our memory.  What remain unchanged are the Kenroku-en and the Kanazawa Castle.

The beautiful images of the garden and the castle stayed in our mind for over 30 years.   It seemed that there was some sort of string that kept on pulling us back - Here they are again. What an experience!
