Kenrokuen garden

Kenrokuen in Kanazawa is classified as one of Japan's three most beautiful landscape gardens along with Kairakuen in Mito and Korakuen in Okayama. 

The spacious grounds used to be the outer garden of Kanazawa Castle and were constructed by the ruling Maeda clan over a period of nearly two centuries. It was opened to the public in 1871, it features a variety of flowering trees which provide the garden with a different look for each season.

The name Kenrokuen literally means Garden of the Six Sublimities, meaning spaciousness, seclusion, artificiality, antiquity, abundant water and broad views, which according to Chinese landscape theory are the six essential attributes that make up a perfect garden.
