    Oh my god Kanazawa in spring feels like the quintessential Japan experience with its cherry roads and narrow traditional alleyways. I've been planning my family's entire Japan trip recently, which is fun but honestly super overwhelming, and I'm kinda regretting not including Kanazawa now haha. But there's just no way i could fit it in with just a week. Also now that I've begun researching cities and places in Japan now a lot of your videos are starting to geographically make sense to me which is very cool. And sry for being late to this video, finally finished with my AP exams!

      It definitely feels more special than usual in the spring! Thats so cool you're planning a trip for your family, i'm sure they'll really appreciate that. And one week is short, so you can always come back and enjoy Kanazawa and other places next time! :) Congrats on finishing your AP exams, thats gotta be such a good feeling. Now you can look forward to your Japan trip fully!

    I watch your videos in the morning, while I’m drinking my coffee, and they are the perfect way to start my day. Thanks for taking us along for the ride 💗 seeing the cherry blossoms in person one day is on my bucket list. 🌸

    I have to agree, dumplings over flowers haha.

      Haha I love both! and yes weather has been incredible recently - trying to soak it in as much as possible before the heat of the summer! Thats still better than snowy winter though 😂

    It is beautiful. But what is exactly, a "tea district"? Is it where the tea is processed and sold? Or a place with a lot of tea shops, like a Starbucks area?

    • @AnniewhereAndEverywhere
      @AnniewhereAndEverywhere  9 місяців тому +2

      good question, its actually more like a "tea house district", referring to the places that geisha (called geiko in Kanazawa) entertain guests and have tea ceremonies. Tea isn't made or processed here, but there are a few cafes in addition to the operating geisha houses.

    Amazing stuff! Your videos are incredible. I did several sakura rides here in rural Shizuoka prefecture, but I think yours beat ours pretty handily 🙂
    Just a quick thing in case you are unaware: the law changed recently (last year, I think) so that helmets are now mandatory even for adults and even on a mama chari. Not trying to preach. It's not always obvious and I've been the guy who was last to know because people were too polite to tell me ;-) So just in case!

    • @AnniewhereAndEverywhere

      Thanks so much for your comment, and for letting me know about the helmet law in a friendly way! I heard that the law was changing, but maybe in Ishikawa no one cares/noticed since I rarely see people wearing helmets around town, haha. I heard that the law was 努力義務 instead of required, but it's true its a good habit to always wear one either way! Thank you for the heads up. Shizuoka seems like such a pretty prefecture, I'm sure you had some beautiful sakura too! 😊

    サイクリングするのに気持ちが良い季節ですね。
    それにしても大地震のせいなのか、財政難で補修できないのかわからないけど道路がひび割れていますね…😥
    自転車の乗り心地大丈夫でしたか?
    これからも応援しています!

      いつも見てくれてありがとう!道路はところどころひび割れているが、それでも乗り心地はいい。道路の損傷は地震によるものもあるが、土砂崩れや以前の摩耗によるものもある。能登は資源を最も必要としているので、ひび割れた道路の優先順位は今年はそれほど高くなかったのかもしれない。でも、道路は毎週直され続けている。嬉しいコメントをありがとう!
