Take photos with a professional photographer at Kenrokuen, a strolling garden that is considered one of Japan's top three gardens.
Kenrokuen, a must-visit sightseeing spot in Kanazawa , is a representative garden of feudal lords from the Edo period, and was created over a long period of time by successive lords of the Kaga domain. Located in the center of Kanazawa City, this garden is loved by residents of the prefecture and tourists from all over the world for its spectacular view of the castle town and the beauty of each season. When talking about the beauty of Kenrokuen, it is essential to use the ``mawarishiki'' gardening method. Rather than a sitting-style garden that can be enjoyed from the temple's hojo or the palace's shoin, the garden has a large pond, a rocky mountain, and is dotted with pavilions and teahouses, and visitors can enjoy the garden as they visit.
