Kenrokuen Garden
Kanazawa Castle Park is a park built on the ruins of the Kaga Million Stones Maeda family's castle, connected to Kenrokuen Garden and Ishikawa Bridge. It features historical buildings, including important cultural properties such as Ishikawa Gate, the Sanjukken Nagaya, and the Tsurumaru Storehouse. Notably, the Hishi Yagura, the Gojukken Nagaya, and the Hashizume Gate Turret, restored in 2001, are not to be missed. You can enjoy the diverse shapes and colors of the stone walls, and while strolling, you can savor matcha and Japanese sweets at Gyokusen-an.
