Kenrokuen Garden is one of Japan’s most celebrated landscape gardens. Located in Kanazawa, it was originally built by the Maeda Clan, who ruled this region during the Edo period. The name “Kenrokuen” means “Garden of Six Attributes,” referring to six qualities considered ideal in a landscape garden: spaciousness, seclusion, artificiality, antiquity, abundant water, and broad views. You’ll notice how beautifully each element is balanced—stone lanterns, ponds, tea houses, bridges, and seasonal flowers are all placed with harmony. One of the highlights is the Kotoji-tōrō, a stone lantern with two legs, which has become a symbol of the garden. This garden is especially beautiful in all four seasons: cherry blossoms in spring, irises in early summer, maple leaves in autumn, and snow-covered landscapes in winter. In fact, during winter, you’ll see the famous Yukitsuri—ropes tied to trees to protect branches from heavy snow.
