My
sister came to visit me in late April and we went to Toyama
prefecture for a short trip. I have been longing for seeing
beautiful tulips for a while. After checking the official
website of the Tonami Tulip Fair 2017, we decided to visit it as
almost all tulips is in full bloom at that time. The Tulip Fair does
not disappoint us and we enjoy so much walking around the park. The
park is unexpectedly huge with plenty of tulips. We are surprised
with the numerous varieties of Tulip presented in the park. We feel
like ourselves in Amsterdam!! :) We also tried the famous Tulip ice
cream although we found that the taste is like vanilla. :P Since it
is still in late April, we are able to see both cherry and tulip
blossom at the same time. It is so unforgettable to pass through the
tunnel with both pink cherry and yellow tulips!!!
On
the second day, we went to Takaoka’s Kito Kito Seafood market to
eat the fresh seafood from Toyama sea and see the crab afternoon
auction. It was fun to pick our own fish and shell fish and eat them
right away (sashimi). The crab and sashimi are soooooooo fresh and
delicious that we were very full at the end. On the way back, we
jumped on a local Doraemon tram heading back to Takaoka station. It
was a lovely tram ride where we can hug the cute Doraemon and Dorami
on the tram. The decoration is also fancy that we do not wanna
leave. The creator of Doraemon was born in Takaoka city and you can
easily find Doraemon near to the station.
