What are the facility details?
Kenrokuen Garden is renowned for its meticulously maintained landscapes, featuring ponds, streams, and seasonal flowers. It perfectly embodies the concept of 'six qualities' of a perfect garden: spaciousness, seclusion, artifice, antiquity, water, and panoramas.
The best time to visit is during the cherry blossom season in early April or the vibrant foliage in autumn. Each season brings unique beauty, making it a year-round destination.
You can reach Kenrokuen by taking the Kanazawa Loop Bus, which conveniently stops at the garden. Alternatively, it's a pleasant 20-minute walk from Kanazawa Station.
