We went to a restaurant
called "秋月" we reserved with hotels. We made an appointment in a tourist
company. The course includes round-trip train tickets, one night stay
at a hotel and this dinner. It costs about 34,000 yen, I guess. I think
it's not bad.

No English version.
Inside, there are tables and chairs in a kind of personal room.
This is the main dish. (Boiled crab)
This blue tag showed where the crab was caught. This tag said it was
from 輪島(Wajima). When you go to a fish market in Kanazawa, you can see
some crabs with these tags. There are some colors. It means they were
caught in different ports.
When I firstly had a bite, I found the taste was not strong. So I
picked out all the crabmeat and mixed with Kanimiso(crab livers) which
tastes strong and creamy. 
These were the shells of the crab. It took about 40 minutes to pick up the crabmeat... It was hard.
We would like to go to Kenrokuen with a special light-up.
So we emailed to Shugetsu to change the starting time and serve the dishes earlier. They completed our favors without any complaints. And later, I found that I forgot my knit cap in here. I was thinking to go back here at midnight, in the morning of the next day, or I gave up. When we came back the hotels, my cap was sent in the front desk.
Amazing... (Actually there is a pick-up bus between the hotel and the restaurant. So they found I'd left it so they asked the bus driver to send me. Later I emailed to the restaurant for my appreciation.)
We asked the restaurant to call a taxi. (I already asked them by email.) Soon a taxi came and we headed for Kenrokuen(兼六園). It had special light-ups during this term.
We can enter the garden for free, too.
The taxi driver put us in front of the main gate. Then I could see a beautiful castle called "金沢城 : Kanazawa jou".
It has been now being under restoration.
We have to walk in the entrance about 5 minutes.
Then, we could see this!!
There were so many people about 150 to 200. It was freezing cold there.
As you can see the ropes from the tops of the trees.
It is called ”雪吊り:Yukitsuri" snow-hanging??
The snow in this area includes water so it is heavy.
The heavy snow damaged the branches of the trees badly. About 150 to 200 ropes are used on one tree.
Hotel Resol Trinity Kanazawa in the morning from the nearest bus stop.

They have Korean and two Chinese websites, too.
I don't want to recommend this hotels. Because here is excellent. If I recommended, I would not stay next time...
The hotel employees were really well-trained but not manual typed. I could feel their professionals.
This is the lobby. This hotel is very reasonable. Two bus stops from Kanazawa Station. You can get the buses from Bus Stop No.3 to 6 and get off at Musashi-gatsuji（武蔵ヶ辻）. From the bus stop, it takes two minutes on foot.
We didn't know why but the room was upgraded. On the 9th floor. The top floor of the hotel. We can't get on 8th and 9th floors without a room key card.
Open the door... Omg...
For western people it is small but for us it's a cozy room we can relax. Compared with standard rooms in other hotels, this room is more spacious.
There is no big bath in this hotel but there is a big bathtub in the room. It was really great to relax. There is a big humidifier with an air purifier, too.
The view from the room(on the next morning)
At 10 pm. I would like to drink coffee. There is Starbucks near the hotel but it closes at 10pm. So I took a walk to Kanazawa Station. It was a little long way than I expected.
It took about 18 to 20 minuets walk.
I went to Starbucks near the station. Almost all the chairs were occupied. There are night buses from Kanazawa to everywhere. So there were many young people there.
I got a chair and after 30 minutes, the shop clerk told me it was the closing time.... Omg... When I heard it, I suddenly said "ehh" by myself. I thought Kanazawa is a big city so it opens at 12pm but it closes at 11pm...
So I had to walk a long way again to go back to the hotel.
There is a convenience store near the hotel, too.
It is a nice location.
I had a nice sleep...but it didn't...
My friend told me that he changed the plan again!! and he suddenly said he wanted to go to another museum.
I got a temper so after taking a bath, at midnight I re-planned again and did a simulation in my mind.
Because we had to take the train at 2pm to go back to Shin-yokohama. I had already planned the exact time...
(What a f...!!) So I went down by the elevator and use the free PC near the lobby to calculate time schedule.
My friend already slept. I went to bed at one...
