No, not the Kanazawa that's in Ishikawa prefecture, the one that's in Kanagawa prefecture; it's a city ward of Yokohama that's off by Tokyo Bay.
I actually went there to go to Costco and buy a ton of chocolate for Valentine's Day week -- and I did, indeed, spend $40 on chocolate if you count the 75-pack box of Swiss Miss cocoa I bought -- but, in addition to seeing a new Costco I also managed to see another part of Tokyo Bay and ride a new train line, the Kanazawa Seaside Line.

I wouldn't say that I've gotten entirely better from being sick, but I was at least well enough to go sit on a train for almost 2 hours each way without sniffling much, AND walk the mile to the beach and the half-mile back to the train afterwards carrying about 10 pounds of chocolate and so on, so eh.
( Kanazawa Seaside train and Costco, as seen from my cellphone camera, plus maps! )
The things that made me sad on this visit were, though:
( Costco makes me sad )
After I got home I had a pretty good evening of mostly watching TV, though.
