• Explore the Gassho-zukuri (thatched roof houses) of World Heritage site, Shirakawago ("White River Town)

• Kanazawa Kaiten-zushi joint at the Kanazawa Station. It was fantastic and the sets were superb along with the miso soup. You pay by the plate and could see every sushi pass in front of you unless someone up the conveyor belt grabs it first! Fill your own teacup with roasted or green tea and fill your soy dish and use tongs for the gari (ginger). When done, the gal comes over and waves her electronic wand scanner over the stacked plates and in seconds you get your tab and itemized dishes.
