Info: Kenrokuen Garden, located in Kanazawa, is considered one of Japan’s three most beautiful landscape gardens.

The garden features charming walking paths, tranquil ponds, seasonal flowers, stone lanterns, and teahouses. Each season brings unique beauty—cherry blossoms in spring, lush greenery in summer, vibrant foliage in autumn, and snow-covered landscapes in winter. Kenrokuen offers a timeless, peaceful experience, showcasing the refined elegance of Japanese garden design.
