Kenroku-en: One of Japan’s Most Beautiful Gardens

Step into tranquility at Kenroku-en, one of the Three Great Gardens of Japan, located in the heart of Kanazawa. Carefully designed over centuries, this landscape masterpiece blends six ideal attributes of a perfect garden: spaciousness, seclusion, artificiality, antiquity, water features, and magnificent views. From stone bridges and koi-filled ponds to seasonal cherry blossoms or snowy pines, every angle feels like a painting. Whether you visit in spring, fall, or winter, Kenroku-en’s harmony between nature and design is simply unforgettable.

Tips for Visitors:
- Visit early morning for fewer crowds and soft lighting.
- Combine your trip with a visit to Kanazawa Castle, just next door.
- If visiting in winter, check out the yukitsuri—ropes used to protect trees from heavy snow.
- Entrance is around ¥320; open year-round.
- Do not miss Shigure-tei, the historic teahouse with garden views. #kenrokuen
