From Nagano to Kanazawa: Exploring Stations, Hotel Forza Kanazawa, and Tasty Eats || Japan Day 8

Second part to our Day 8 in Japan! After our visit to the snow monkeys in Jigokundani Park earlier, we explored Nagano Station, checked out the food stalls, and wandered through the souvenir street before catching the Shinkansen to Kanazawa. In Kanazawa, we saw the famous Tsuzumi-mon Gate at the station, checked into Hotel Forza Kanazawa, and later grabbed a bowl of delicious ramen at Ramen Mikoshi.
