What other travelers are saying about Kenrokuen Garden
A very well manicured and stunning park that's well worth a visit. It has a very relaxed and quiet feel to it with some nice views of the mountains also. We were lucky enough to catch the early cherry blossom blooms
Came here in the winter on 12/25/2024. I really enjoyed walking around and seeing all of the unique foliage and arrangements they did for the Garden. Using the map to see the major 13 highlights was pretty interesting. Even though the winter did not have any of the special foliage such as cherry blossoms or fall leaves, the garden was still very impressive. I would definitely come again another season to see how it would change.
Our favorite gardens in Japan. They sure love their trees there. Most have been carfully changed in years. Beauty all around you. Do spend a few hours enjoying this magical place.
Today, visiting this beautiful garden felt like stepping into a snowy winter fairy tale 🤍. When it gets cold, there are cozy spots to rest and warm up. The garden also features charming tea houses where you can relax. I'm sure this garden is uniquely beautiful in all four seasons! We absolutely loved it!

This is, hands down, the most amazing, well kept, park I've ever seen or been to IN MY LIFE (thus far). It's so well maintained you and the trees and bushes are so well trimmed, you almost think it's been engineered somehow. There's a wide variety of trees and bushes here. Even the pond is super clean. The atmosphere is one of serenity.
It was not busy when we were there; it was more of a healthy crowd.
Oh yeah, we also had some ice cream dipped in a Kanazawa gold leaf.
This park is a must visit. The length, size, and views of the garden, are worth the walk.
It's the perfect stroll. 7 stars (if I could.)
