Kenrokuen Garden, one of Japan’s “Three Great Gardens,” is a masterpiece of Japanese landscape design. With its elegant ponds, stone lanterns, seasonal flowers, and teahouses, it embodies the six traditional attributes of a perfect garden: spaciousness, tranquility, artificiality, antiquity, water features, and scenic views. Just next to it lies Kanazawa Castle, a historic samurai stronghold that has been rebuilt and preserved over centuries. Visitors can explore its imposing gates, traditional turrets, and vast grounds while learning about the powerful Maeda clan who once ruled the region. Together, Kenrokuen and Kanazawa Castle offer a harmonious blend of nature, history, and culture.
