Together with Korakuen of Okayama and Kairakuen of Mito, Kenrokuen Garden is counted as one of Japan’s top three gardens. The change of season ranging from Spring Cherry Blossom, Autumn Foliage to Hanging Snow in Winter, is a wonderful sight. Some of the highlights include “Koji Lantern” and “Karasaki no Matsu (The Pine Tree of Karasaki during the snow hanging season)”. Kanazawa truly stands to be one of the top tourist cities of Japan, and Kenrokuen Garden is right in its center.
