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
Park with stunning visuals. As I went on the time where hanami blossoms peak, it was even more spectacular with the pink colors merging with the sky and the city. Make sure to visit the adjacent Kanazawa castle and museums, including 21 century museum. The pond lacked the cherry blossoms but it was still beautiful. There are many tea houses and an abundance of bathrooms and restaurants. Don’t forget to visit the markets selling skewers, and Japanese street food.
Access is simply by bus.
Gorgeous traditional garden. Feels the serenity as you stroll around to appreciate the efforts by the arborists & landscaping. Definitely worthy of a visit even for those not garden lovers.
One of the most breathtaking gardens in Japan. These gardens can be views during all 4 seasons. We visited during the end of the snow season. The cherry plossums had just started to show and there was still a little snow on the ground. We would love to visit again during both the winter season and spring. It was easy to get here via the bus and it never got too crowded. I would recommend visiting in the morning and late afternoon to capture the best photos and to have the place to yourself.
The teahouse is quite small so we didn't go in this time. I would have loved to see inside and sit down for a drink.
This place is also wheelchair accessible. All of the footpaths are very well maintained.
Lots of bathrooms which are clean and well maintained
A very large park with lots of beautiful plants, houses and green spaces and small lakes, the large trees are impressive and are extremely well maintained. You can feel the respect for nature. Simply beautiful to spend time in, relax and enjoy Japanese park.
If you have an hour to spare, the Seison-Kaku is well worth a visit. Beautiful building; traditional Japanese architecture and aesthetics.
