The bullet train to Kanazawa

We said goodbye to Nagano and caught the bullet train out to Kanazawa on the eastern side of Japan. The scenery was absolutely beautiful because it was snow and villages and mountains and rice paddies all mixing and changing for a good chunk of it! But it's "blink and you'll miss it" as there are all these rails put up and you go through the mountains, so it's kind of just better to take the scenery and enjoy it as it comes, but we did try to take a few snaps, particularly with my kindle as I was able to rest it up against the window so I could read when we were in tunnels and look when we weren't!

Also, how cute are our snow monkey souvenirs we got from the snow monkey park! Their hands have magnets in them so you can wrap them around anything!Weiterlesen
