We cannot believe our time has passed so quickly. We will be traveling early tomorrow!

Wajima!

What a packed day today! We began be visiting the Wajima morning market which is held every morning, it has amazing vendors and local shops. One of the shops off of the morning market street is  a lacquer wear shop where we painted chopsticks! After, we headed to the land of 1,000 rice fields, senmaida, and had udon for lunch! With udon to power us, we visited the Wajima exhibit at ion for the festivals in Noto which was beautiful and had so much history! Then we traveled to Ganmon beach, drove on a beach farther down the peninsula, and finally went to a shrine. A truly beautiful day!
