Kenrokuen, one of Japan's "Three Famous Gardens", which is as famous as Mito Kailand and Okayama Korakuen, is a representative daimyo (lord) garden of the Edo period. Work hard to get what you are today. Kenrokuen Garden is located in the center of Kanazawa. As a garden where you can enjoy the beauty of the four seasons, it is loved by many Ishikawa prefectural residents and tourists from all over the world. Kenroku Garden uses a large number of "revolutionary" gardening elements, and also comprehensively uses the gardening techniques of many times, integrating the strengths of many families. Different from the gardens that can be viewed from the sitting room of the temple or the academy of the imperial palace, the voyage-style garden makes the most of the space of the land, excavating large ponds, building rockeries in the garden, and decorating with pavilions and tea houses. You need to watch them one by one to see all the sights. Because the garden has ponds scattered all over the place and crooked water running through it, the rockery built with the soil excavated from the ponds, and the scattered and colorful flowers and trees, it is also called "rockery, forest spring, and migratory garden".
