The first time you go to Japan, do you go to Osaka in Tokyo or Nara in Kyoto? My first experience with Japan was Kanazawa, known as Little Kyoto. In Japanese, "金" means money, which is pronounced as かね (kane). Because of this, people often read Kanazawa as kanesawa. Of course, its correct pronunciation is かなざわ (kanazawa). The city is as its name suggests, and the clouds and flowers are "golden" and shake like a dream; when the beginning is the new Cheng'en "Ze", it is like a flower like fog. Kanazawa should be one you will sigh "the scenery is so delicate, attracting countless tourists to bend the waist!" "Petty bourgeois resort.
I've been to Kanazawa three times, in 2015, 2017, 2019, and coincidentally every 2 years. The first time was when I was studying during the winter vacation of my junior year, and it was also the most memorable one, and I spent the Spring Festival alone outside. Walking in the east tea house street on a rainy day, quietly mimi buys herself a gold leaf ice cream, the taste is not very amazing, but it is also a must-have choice; sunny day experience and surizi, pottery production, feel that their ingenuity is unique, craftsmen are generated; snow day to run to the ski resort, comb their hair into a child's shape, enjoy the thrill of flying straight down. During that time, I lived in Homestay's home, an ordinary Japanese family, but not an ordinary encounter. We have known each other for more than 5 years from February 1, 2015 to today, and have maintained contact for more than 5 years. Some time ago, Homestay's dad video informed him that his son was getting married and invited me to the wedding after the epidemic. It's also wonderful to think about, when I went there, this brother and girlfriend had just fallen in love, and I was also one of the witnesses of love.
The second time was to stop by to visit Kanazawa while I was in Kyoto. They all say that the first sight is beautiful, and the goodbye is amazing. Sure enough, it didn't live up to the time. Unlike the first time, this time it was the middle of July, and the heat was flustered, but the heart was very happy. After all, after two years of separation, everything in my memory is still the same as winter. In the summer, Higashi Tea House Street becomes more quaint, in July, Kenrokuen Garden becomes more lush; kanazawa Castle becomes more majestic in summer...
The third time, on last year's birthday. Celebrated his birthday at Homestay's house. Went to Kanazawa twice and missed the 21st Century Museum of Art. This time it was specially put on the agenda. But it was such a coincidence, because there was a rare art exhibition on the day, so I actually encountered a Shanghai-style queue. I am a very time-saving person and give up decisively. Next is the old place to visit, and the sixth garden, Xianglin Fang... Often look at the new, sure enough, the years are undefeated beautiful.
I experienced a lot of things about Japan for the first time in Kanazawa. It is a place known to the public as petty bourgeoisie, the "dragon head" of the famous tourist route "Thang Long Road" (Ryumi is Nagoya), but it is a presence that I have fond memories. If we can, next time we will meet in Kanazawa, go to Kanazawa University, go to Omicho Market, and then go to Kanazawa Station to see the people coming and going.
