Travels

Plum blooms of Kairaku-en Garden

I go exploring Sakaiminato, the ghost town from the popular manga of Spooky Kitaro. The mist over the town is spooky and the stone monsters waiting at every corner add to the eerie of this monster wonderland.

Today I visit the lovely Kenroku-en garden in Kanazawa. In the dark winter evenings the garden is illuminated and the glowing trees, enveloped in the strings of Yuki-tsuri look ever so enchanting.
