Kenroku-en in Kanazawa

Kenrokuen, located in Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture, is one of Japan’s most celebrated landscape gardens, alongside Korakuen (Okayama) and Kairakuen (Mito). Its name, “Kenrokuen,” translates to “Garden of the Six Sublimities”, referring to the six ideal characteristics of a perfect garden: spaciousness, seclusion, artificiality, antiquity, abundant water, and broad views. Whether you visit in spring for cherry blossoms, summer for lush greens, autumn for fiery foliage, or winter for snow-covered pines and yukitsuri (protective rope supports), Kenrokuen provides an unforgettable sensory and visual experience.
