Moe and Chicako shared FAR more than their kind and patient (my husband and I are inexperienced cooks) instruction in the making of three tasty dishes. Their beautiful generosity extended to a fascinating tour of the building project using traditional construction methods underway at the salon, the MOST delicious homemade plum wine (as delectable as a perfectly ripe piece of fruit), an unscheduled nap (one of us ran out of steam), insights into Kanzawa history + Japanese culture, and the making of a difficult-to-obtain dinner reservation for our family of 8 for that same evening. We definitely hope to return and in the meantime will most highly recommend to friends. The cooking salon was a highlight of our 2+week holiday and can't thank Moe and Chicako enough!!!!

A wonderful example of contemporary Zen architecture. On a quiet day, the spaces are perfect for contemplation. Using light, lack of light, walls, windows and long corridors, the designers created an expansive space with a small footprint.

Came into the phonograph museum using the day bus ticket and you will get 50yen discount, 250 yen entrance fee. It houses a wide collection of phonographs, music recorder in the older days before digital music. It is so impressive and historical, forgot that music recorder was invented by Thomas Edison, same inventor who gave us light bulb. There are a few sessions a day to showcase and explain the workings of some phonograph so try to catch that. In addition, on Sunday, they show case the oldest piano recorder in the world. On level 3, you can listen to some of the LPs in collection. I listened to Wham - Make it Big LP. Careless Whispers sounded like live. Highly recommended if you love music.

This beautiful small park with pond is one of the well preserved park inside the castle park. A few steps up and down in order to reach the park from the castle and if you are in wheelchairs then you can reach this park from Ohori dori avenue. A tea pavilion just facing the small pond to enjoy the beauty. Worth a visit and it is free. During night time the garden is litted up and more beautiful..
