Kenroku-en
Kenroku-en Garden is a representative garden founded during the Edo period. Kenroku-en Garden is also known as one of Three Great Gardens of Japan along with Koraku-en in Okayama and Kairaku-en in Mito. This garden is so famous that tourists never visit Ishikawa without coming here. This place is especially popular when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom. Plenty of "Kenroku kikusakura" and "Kenroku kumagaisakura" are planted and can only been seen here in this historical monument. The popular late-bloom "Kenroku kikusakura" has two to three hundred petals---two to three times more than the ordinary "kikusakura"!
When this garden lights up at night, it gives a whole different vibe compared to that in the day. To top off the enchantment the Kanazawa Castle and lit up cherry trees will give you, the admission during the light up period is free.
