Turning to Japanese

Fiona wore a kimono for the New Year.

This kimono is from Taddy's aunt.

In Japan, there are still a lot of people wearing this traditional clothes for special occasions.

...but it takes time to get used to it, it's pretty hard to move around.


Inside the train to Kanazawa.

Taddy's mom slept almost on every transportation.


After sightseeing in Kanazawa city, we came to Kaga Onsen.

It's dinner time!


It's onsen time!


In the lobby in the morning.


Then we went for the tour of Kaga city.
This is the one of the stops called YUNOKUNI NO MORI.

These old houses are craft shops (workshop), souvenir shops, and tea houses and restaurants.


Hello Kitty is everywhere...


At Kaga onsen station.

You can see the big Kannon statue from the station.

We stayed in this area for two days and one night.

By the way, Taddy's family has a dog.

Ryu has been with the family for more than ten years.

The last day in Japan, Kenichiro family came to see us that night.

They were becoming good friends.
