Starbucks Japan - City Mug - Kanazawa

        Kanazawa is the capital city of Ishikawa prefecture in Japan. Even though I have traveled so many places in Japan, I haven't gone there. I wish I would travel there someday. When my husband was on his business trip in Japan, he bought this Starbucks Japan city mug, Kanazawa. I'm going to share this mug with you.

        This two-legged stone lantern pictured is one of Japanese traditional architectures made of stone, toro. This toro is called Kotoji-Toro and is symbol of Kenroku-en, an old private garden and one of the Three Great Gardens of Japan.

      This yellow one pictured is yukitsuri, a technique for preserving trees and shrubs from heavy snow. During winter, you can see yukitsuri in Kenroku-en.

      This orange structure (its actual color is black though) is mikado, the main gate of Oyama Shrine, a Shinto shrine in Kanazawa. This mikado is designated as a nationally important cultural property of Japan.

      Hokuriku Shinkansen, a high-speed railway line in the Hokuriku region will extend to Kanazawa and will officially open next year.

       There are Japanese traditional structures with latticework in Higashichaya-gai, which many tea houses stood in. You can see the picture of Starbucks mug in the tea house below.
