Review:
Kenrokuen Garden, or the “Garden of the Six Sublimities,” embodies each of the six qualities that Chinese landscape theory considers essential for perfect garden design. Guests can see these qualities in the garden’s bridges, water features, scenic outlooks, hidden recesses, natural elements, and historic buildings. Originally the outer garden of Kanazawa Castle, Kenrokuen has several notable features including the Kotojirtoro Lantern and one of Japan’s oldest fountains that operates using natural water pressure. For a small admission fee, guests can visit the garden during daylight hours year-round with the exception of a brief period from December 29 to January 3.
