The Boat Trip in Noto Sea - Ishikawa

31/07/2010

This trip was so sudden. Friends called me out to join  with them to  go to Ishikawa. I had already been to Kanazawa  but my love for traveling won. By 8.40 in the morning, I was waiting for my friends at the Toyama station.



These two bridges connect the Noto isalnd with Honshu, the main island of Japan.Leaving the second bridge brings you to Noto of Ishikawa prefecture. It is a place where no trains run, only buses.

I always wanted to visit here but the transportation was  a problem. Well, after all it was  a dream coming true.
We headed to "gan mon" of Ishikawa. A boat ride around the place shows you , the different natural patterns and designs on the rocks in the beach. Being different from the sea we saw at the other side of the Noto Island the Sea near ganmon is really windy and rough. Well, it resembles the beaches of Sri Lanka.

The fee for the boat ride of 20 minutes is 1000yen. It is fun when it rides the waves but I still felt it was just  a little too high for what we get in return . But the nature is still priceless.

19/07/2010 Another dream coming true. I always wanted to go there.I was collecting leaflets, pamphlets about this but never thought of   going due to the high costs. Well, luck was upon me this one time. It was early morning of 5.45 and I was waiting for my sensei s vehicle in front of  Toyama Station. I did know the plans for the day but that we were going to Tateyama. Were we going to Kurobe Dam too, or going to Kurobe Dam?Were we going to take the Alpen Route or go straight to Kurobe? Surprises were waiting. We reached Tateyama Station and I knew it is my dream coming true. Weather and information of the day  It was around 14degrees at the top of the mountain while it was nearly 36degrees at the foot.

Gokayama means five hills. These special five hills are named as UNESCO world heritage for it s old  village still left unharmed. The ancient kokiri dancing village The beautiful village of Ainokura The entrance to the village The ancient roof This roof is called "gasshou dsukuri" meaning -the prayers hand architecture-. This roof style is so strong that its compatible for the extremely heavy snow fall in this area in winter. From here onwards are some of the houses still left to date. This houses are still strong and man made. Even in the scorching sun the temperature inside the house is cool and it is said that it is the same in the winter. It was marvelous to see this little village, where in winter visiting this village is difficult due to several routes are closed due to heavy snow fall in winter. All Rights Reserved.
