> Kenrokuen Garden is one of Japan's three great gardens and is located in Kanazawa city. It was established during the Edo Period and is known for its six attributes of beauty: spaciousness, tranquility, artistic ingenuity, antiquity, water, and scenic views. The garden covers 11.4 hectares and features paths that wind around ponds, bridges over streams, hills, groves, and teahouses. It is considered one of the most beautiful feudal lord gardens in Japan. Throughout the seasons, visitors can enjoy the beauty of plum and cherry blossoms in spring, colorful azaleas and irises in summer, and vibrant red and yellow leaves in autumn. In November, the garden showcases the traditional technique of yukizuri, where bamboo poles and ropes are used to protect trees from heavy snowfall. This creates a stunning wintry sight with the snow-dusted bamboo poles resembling contemporary artworks. Kenrokuen Garden is a must-visit destination for those seeking the beauty of nature and traditional Japanese garden design.
