郷里・金沢 １０ (My Hometwon Kanazawa 10)

　上掲の2枚の写真は、金沢の中心街、香林坊の北側の裏通りを撮ったもの。東側には用水路があり、柳並木や和風料理店のある穏やかな街並が続く。懐かしい郷里の街を、もっと方々歩きたかったが、今回の金沢旅行の写真はこれで終りである。

The above two photos show the back street of the north side of Kōrinbō, the center of Kanazawa. This is a quiet street with a canal on the east side and lined with willow trees and Japanese restaurants. I wanted to walk around more streets of my dear home town, but these were the final shots during the trip of this time.
