    Kenrokuen is a traditional Japanese-style garden in Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture. The garden is said to have been first constructed in the mid-17th century in the outer bailey of Kanazawa Castle as a private garden for the lords of the Kaga Domain; it has been designated as a National Special Place of Scenic Beauty, and it ranks alongside the Kairakuen garden in Mito and the Korakuen garden in Okayama as one of the “Three Great Gardens of Japan.” Kenrokuen is renowned for its beautiful vistas, which make effective use of how nature changes with the seasons. For example, a special feature of the garden during the winter months is the Yuki-tsuri (ropes attached in a conical array to protect tree branches in a garden during the winter); another seasonal feature is the red and white plum blossom in the plum grove. In 2009 the Kenrokuen garden was awarded three stars (the maximum possible) in the Michelin Green Guide. During the peak tourist season, there is free admission at certain times, and the garden also hosts various special events, such as having the garden illuminated at night, etc.

    七福神山のほぼ真ん中にある石塔です。石材は赤戸室石で、火袋や火口があるので灯籠のようにも見えます。七福神山は福寿山とも称され、七福神に見立てた7つの自然の石が置かれています。

    Ishikawa Kanazawa-shi Koshomachi 8-3
    The garden of the 400 year old residence of a samurai family which served Kaga Domain. Built by the high-ranking Wakita family, the garden took 100 years to complete. The design of the two-tier, circular strolling garden with a pond is said to have been inspired by a painting of a three-tiered garden with waterfalls created by the Chinese Southern Song dynasty artist-monk Yujian. Notable for its undulating scenery, the garden encourages visitors to stroll around the central pond and take in the differing views which appear as one progresses.

    This place is small version of Kenrokuen and you can visit for free. 兼六園をコンパクトにしたようなお庭ですが、道の舗装されているので歩きやすいです。入り口近くには休憩所もあり暖かい室内で座ることができますよう

    Ishikawa Kanazawa-shi Kenrokumachi
    A bridge spanning Kasumigaike Pond, a pond in the center of the Kenrokuen which is also its largest. Made using 11 red Tomuro stone segments, its appearance was likened to that of geese flying in a line in the evening sky, hence its name, which literally means “geese flying in formation.” Made with the same stone used in the Nijibashi Bridge and for pedestals for statues in the garden, the bridge’s 11 Tomuro stone segments also resemble the pattern on a tortoise’ shell, and thus it is also known as “Tortoiseshell Bridge.” It was said that crossing the bridge would grant one long life, and in the past many visitors walked across its span; today, however, passage over the bridge is prohibited due to the extreme wear this has caused to the stone.

    兼六園のほぼ中央にある霞ヶ池。その東岸に唐崎松があり、さらに東に少しだけ進むと、水路に雁行橋が架かっていました。 この雁行橋は、11枚の六角形の石が続いているもので、雁が夕空に列をなして飛んでいく様をかたどったことから「雁行橋」という名がつきました石の一枚一枚は六角形をしていて、亀の甲の形をしていることから「亀甲橋」とも言われるそうです。現在は、渡ることができませんでした。

    Ishikawa Kanazawa-shi
    A walking course which extends from Kanazawa Castle Park’s Ishikawa Gate toward the Otebori Moat. The course was created in 1984 to serve as a “path for the contemplation, water and greenery.” Sotobori Park is located where the moats of Kanazawa Castle originally were during the Edo period. Records state that they were filled in in the Meiji period and opened to the general public as a park. The park serves as a space where city residents and tourists can rest and relax, and in the spring visitors can take in cherry blossoms, while in the summer they can go firefly watching. This path is one of only a few spaces in the city where one can observe fireflies living in the wild. An event called the Firefly Spotting Nights by Hakuchoro Street is held in most years in early June, and during this time all are welcome to come and watch the fireflies, the only light being that of small lanterns placed on the ground.

    金沢城の東寄りを南北に結ぶ遊歩道です。大手堀近くには白鳥の像があります。もともとはお堀で水鳥がいたのが由来みたいですね。路の途中には金沢に関わりのある人物などのモニュメントもあり、歩いていて飽きない路でした。

Long, thin Ishikawa prefecture runs along the Sea of Japan up into Noto Peninsula. Highlights of the seaside towns lining the west coast include Kanazawa, often described as a "Little Kyoto" thanks to its old wooden tea houses and geisha culture as well as its picturesque Japanese garden, Kenroku-en.
