Day 7 - 11 Jun 15 It was an early day. We were woken up at about 6am, thanks to the boys who beat the timing on my alarm clock. Anyway, it was better to have ample time to prepare and so we got up and get ready to start the day. After breakfast, we checked out of our hotel at 930am and we drove about an hour to our first destination - Kaga Fruitland - for strawberry picking. A small bus took us to the designated area where the strawberries were planted. Ea...

Day 6 - 10 Jun 15 We woke up at 7am. Breakfast was at the hotel itself and after that, we went to the Omi-cho Market for a walk. Many fresh local produce could be found at the market, ranging from fruits, seafood, vegetables etc. Next, we crossed the road towards Meitetsu M'ZA shopping mall. We decided to do all our shopping in the morning. At first, we had intended to shop for about an hour plus (before moving on to the next attraction); however, as Le fu...

Day 5 - 9 Jun 15 We got up very early at 530am.

Unlike our local market which is usually located in a sheltered premise, the stalls at Miyagawa ...

Day 4 - 8 Jun 15 Our day began as early as 7am. After getting ready, we had breakfast at the same room that we had dinner last night. Quite a decent spread. Next after breakfast, we went for foot bath. Even the kids came along too. (Yu was running a temperature and so my wife brought him back to the room to hopefully get him to sleep). Le tried foot bath for the first time and initially was not very keen because understandably, the water was hot. However...

Day 3 - 7 Jun 15 We got up at 7am in the morning. After breakfast, we checked out of our hotel and drove to Toyama Science Museum, which was only about 10min away from Toyama Chitetsu Hotel. The playground at the compound of Toyama Science Museum was too inviting and the kids couldn't help but to make it their first stop. Of course, the adults obliged because it was 100% consensus amongst the children. Upon satisfying their top priority, we proceeded to the...
