Continuing with my photos from last year, here are some from Kanazawa Castle and Yokohama. http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e4202.html

Here are are a few pics from the Kenrokuen in Kanazawa. It is one of the top 3 gardens in Japan, and looks amazing all year round. http://www.pref.ishikawa.jp/siro-niwa/kenrokuen/e/index.html
