Kenrokuen,
located in Kanazawa, Ishikawa prefecture, is an old private garden and it is
one of Japan’s “Three most beautiful landscape gardens” along with KAIRAKUEN in
Mito and KORAKUEN in Okayama.
During
the Edo period, KENROKUEN was founded and extended over generations by the
feudal lords of Kaga, a current southern part of Ishikawa as a typical Daimyo
garden.
KENROKUEN
futures a variety of flowering trees which provide the garden with a different
look for each season. The name KENROKU literally means “Garden of the six
sublimities”,referring to spaciousness, seclusion, artificiality, antiquity,
abundant water and broad views, which according to Chinese landscape theory are
the six essential attributes that makes a perfect garden.
You can
enjoy plum and cherry blossoms in spring, azaleas and irises early in summer,
colorful red and yellow leaves in autumn! Enjoy Japan’s one of best garden!
