From pretty little flowers to hardy trees and plants, Mother Nature puts on a show at Kenrokuen Garden. You'll be impressed by the many plant species and the effort that's gone into the displays.

This showcase of plants in Kanazawa is popular with fellow travelers, so make a spot for it on your travel itinerary. Don't think that's all there is to do here, though. There are a lot more spots ready for you to experience after Kenrokuen Garden. Omicho Market, 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, and Honda Forest are close by.

8/10 Very Good! (3 reviews)
Unfortunately, our original machyia had a problem with the heating system so the company arranged for us to stay in two alternative properties which were rather different in location and amenities. Their communication was excellent however and they looked after transferring our luggage and the price remained the same even though they had suggested we'd received an “upgrade.” Both properties worked out fine though the latter one had an unusual layout that was clearly designed for clients keen on having a communal Onsen experience.

The is another gem of a garden in the Samurai Bukewashiki section of Kanazawa.  The garden in the Nomura Samurai residence is fantastic!
