Together with Korakuen of Okayama and Kairakuen of Mito, Kenrokuen Garden is counted as one of Japan’s top three gardens. The change of season ranging from Spring Cherry Blossom, Autumn Foliage to Hanging Snow in Winter, is a wonderful sight. Some of the highlights include “Koji Lantern” and “Karasaki no Matsu (The Pine Tree of Karasaki during the snow hanging season)”. Kanazawa truly stands to be one of the top tourist cities of Japan, and Kenrokuen Garden is right in its center.

Cool place to visit. Be prepared to walk as there is a lot to see but the sights you do see are very beautiful.

Such a cool area to explore. Really feels like you are connected to Japanese culture because of the landscape. Was a very good experience and a great place to see beautiful nature. Definitely would recommend!

Kenrokuen Garden truly lived up to the expectations that I had going into it and Kanazawa as a whole. From the various trees, gorgeous architecture, and bodies of water, it was a special day for me personally.

This is a really pretty park in Kanazawa. It is next to the castle and it is really beautiful and stunning to see. When I was there I got ice cream and kakigouri and it was relaxing just to be there on an afternoon. I feel like anyone who wants a relaxing day should go here.
