Samurai Village Street Wanders

After the museum, we wandered the streets of the old Samurai district area. There were a wide range of little cute shops, gardens, and eateries hidden about. It was much nicer and a way better vibe than the other district that had been revamped into an influencer hotspot.

The main highlight of the village was running into an old Japanese local woman who was rocking an awesome warm toned colour combo. I just had to tell her, because basically everyone here in Kanazawa wears black, white and grey, and her and I were matching in a way in our sense of style. Like, I wanna dress like her when I'm old!

She could barely speak English, I could barely speak Japanese, but we did our best with google translate, and she ended up getting a snap of Michael and I, and then Michael got a snap of her and I. Her granddaughter is apparently in Australia attending university. She was super lovely though, and it was just a nice interaction to have 🥰🥰🥰Read more
