Nagasaki - the southest I could get!

Yesterday I spent the last night in Kyoto going for a daytrip to Kanazawa, where old historical houses of Geishas and Samurais are well preserved. Also the castle and the garden of Kanazawa are worth while visiting, as the garden is considered as one of the most beautiful gardens of Japan. At last I visited the local market of Kanazawa, where traditional Japanese vegetables and fish can be bought. As being a wasabi junkie I had to buy 1/2 a kilo of wasabi beans.

Today I spent the entire day getting down to Nagasaki and had my first experience with the Shinkansen. Well there is not much time of watching the scenery or taking a picture from it as it goes mainly underground or so fast that it feels like if you are on a roller coaster ( it goes up to 300 km/h).
