Kenrokuen is known as one of the three most beautiful gardens in Japan.

Typical view of Japanese garden.

Most leaflet introducing Kenrokuen would choose this view. So, rather than superimpose my picture on it, why not take the real picture instead?

It is called Kenrokuen because it combines the six attributes (kenroku) that a garden should have: spaciousness, seclusion, human ingenuity, antiquity, water and panoramic views.

Look at the reddish leaves. It is beautiful, isn't it? As the fall season arrives, most places would have this kind of scenery.

Look at how they maintain the beautiful of this garden.

Another site in Kenrokuen.

Nice view, right?

If I'm not mistaken, the guy next to me is Mokhled. [Don't get mad, brother Jordan!]

What you see at the back is not a man-made water fountain. It is a natural one, caused by a very heavy water pressure.

It contains roughly 12,000 trees of 150 varieties, which achieve beautiful harmony with the garden’s meandering streams, ponds and bridges. Located only 15 minutes by bus from Kanazawa Station.
