Ishikawa Prefecture is lovely and full of incredible scenery and chill vibes.It is essentially a light version of Kyoto. Old, classic Japanese architecture and charm, with plenty of modern amenities and upgrades. We do a bit of shopping, sightseeing, and indulge in some delicious eats - all the hallmarks of Tim in Japan.

We start things off at Omori station in Tokyo, and hop aboard the Tokaido shinkansen en route to Kanazawa station. Once there we eat some tonkatsu and do some shopping at Kanazawa Forus mall, right across from the station.

We then check in at Dormy Inn Onyado Nono Kanazawa, which is an absolutely incredibly value stay. Plenty of freebies from coffee, to ice cream, to yakult, to hot springs - and the breakfast buffet is unbelievably good quality.

We do some sightseeing at Kenrokuen Garden, as well as the downtown old district of Higashi Chaya.

From there we grab some classic Kanazawa style Curry at GoGo Curry and wind down with some local snacks to try out.

The vlog is rounded out with a tour of the Onyado Nono's spectacular breakfast buffet.

This episode officially marks the beginning of Tim in Japan, season 2! Which means we've finally reached the footage from our second trip in Fall 2023. Earlier on this trip I procured the DJI Osmo Pocket 3, which opened up a whole new avenue of filming opportunities. In this vlog, I'm still getting used to things, but trust me - I learn along the way!
