“The Garden of the Six Sublimities”: space, seclusion, artificiality, antiquity, abundant water and expansive views make the garden perfect in Kanazawa.
Of the outer grounds of Kanazawa Castle, Kenrokuen is perhaps the most famous and most beloved garden in all of Japan. It is said to be the perfect example of a landscaped garden, beautiful in all seasons. There are beautiful views from every angle: lily ponds and stone pagodas; wooden bridges and tea houses; koi carp streams; waterfalls; flowers; Japanese pines and delicately placed stones.
