kenroku en garden


Kenroku-en is a historical gem nestled in Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan. This exquisite garden, which translates to "Garden of the Six Sublimities," embodies the ideal characteristics of a perfect landscape garden, including spaciousness, seclusion, artifice, antiquity, water courses, and panoramas. Developed over two centuries by the Maeda clan, Kenroku-en was opened to the public in 1871 and continues to be celebrated for its seasonal beauty, particularly its breathtaking winter scenery.
