We packed our bags this morning because the hotel was moving us to a non smoking room - thank goodness!
There are two bus loops taking visitors to the city's key locations - one bus route goes clockwise and the other goes anticlockwise. We bought a day pass and headed for the Kenroku-en Garden which is in the top 3 of Japan's gardens.
It was a delightful sunny day and the gardeners were taking advantage of the weather preparing trees for the snow season. They secure about 800 ropes from the top of a pole to branches to prevent the trees from being damaged by the weight of snow. Throughout December and January Kanazawa is covered in snow.
There were lovely autumn colours throughout the garden but this roping activity attracted the attention of most visitors, including ourselves.
