On Saturday you should go to Kanazawa. You can see many Samurai. Hyakuman-goku festival is held in the downtown of Kanazawa I've never seen the festival, but my sis often go see the parade. According to her, that is way fabulous. From the city hall, the parade starts at 12:30 on June 11. I think it's the biggest festival in Hokuriku area. You would like it. Also, go to Kenroku Park. The park is called one of the three most beautiful gardens in Japan. During the festival, you can enter the part free of charge.

Sounds really interesting!
It's too bad we live a bit north of Kanazawa.(Jun 8, 2005 02:54:17 PM)

Oh sorry tenne238-san!

I've not checked my blog for a long time.
Actually， the festival was terrible because it was raining heavily. I will go the festival next year.(Jun 29, 2005 04:38:22 PM)
