Kenrokuen Garden
Kenrokuen Garden is by far the most famous part of
Kanazawa. Originally built as the outer garden of Ishikawa castle, it
was opened to the public in 1875. It is considered one of the "three
most beautiful gardens in Japan" and is filled with a variety of
trees, ponds, waterfalls and flowers stretching over 25 acres (100,000
m²). In winter, the park is notable for its yukitsuri — ropes attached
in a conical array to trees to break up snow as it falls, thereby
protecting the trees from damage.
