[Ishikawa Family] Cherry blossoms at Kanazawa Castle Park, the famous castle of the Kaga Domain.

Kanazawa Castle, the famous castle of the Kaga Domain, boasts a million koku of rice and is the pride of Ishikawa Prefecture. The approximately 400 cherry trees surrounding Kanazawa Castle and the moat stand out against the chalk walls, making it a more spectacular cherry blossom spot than Kenrokuen. The area around the main gate, Ishikawamon, is particularly worth seeing. There are rickshaws, and the park is bustling with people.
