What kind of place is "Kenroku-en"?

"Kenroku-en" which are Mito's "Kairakuen" and one in Okayama's Three Great Gardens of Japan as well as "Korakuen". The daimyo garden where a successive generations seigneur of a Kaga feudal clan bet and made long years. About 160 kinds of 8200 tree is wanton and abundant naturally in the park where it takes pride in about 2.4 times of size in the Tokyo dome. It's charm that the landscape of the each season can be enjoyed at everywhere in the park at a garden of the migration system enjoyed on foot.

Kenroku-en of "spring" where 400 cherry trees bloom

Walk at noon dyed in aspect pink

Spring in Kenroku-en each place in the park is dyed pink where. About 40 kinds of 400 cherry tree blooms focusing on a Someiyoshino cherry tree in the vast park. It's also charm that the unusual kind Kenroku-en such as Kenroku-en chrysanthemum cherry tree and Kenroku-en Kumagai can be enjoyed. When time of the best time comes Sakura in Kenroku-en, there is hospitality gentle with the tourist opened for free of charge for about 1 week.

The flower viewing bridge" where a full-blown cherry tree can be enjoyed with meandering water, in the park, view spot of a best cherry tree. Taste is much in kyousou with the meandering water called off gently. The scenery from the Kanazawa view stand which can enjoy a cherry tree like the pink carpet is also recommended.

Light up at night and free opening

Then "cherry blossom viewing period light up" does "Kenroku-en" and "Kanazawa Castle Park" according to the bloom of a cherry tree, and I make a flower of light bloom at night in spring. One in the park at night when it won't be done Kenroku-en is opened for free of charge during a light up period, and usually to enter, the chance satisfied much. The trees of a kishin garden lantern (I'll sell it with KO TOJI.) and a fresh green leaf are surfaced in fantastic light.
Ishikawa gate, Kahoku gate and a water chestnut turret are lit up by Kanazawa Castle Park, and you show me different powerful appearance with Hiruma.

Taste in a castle town is satisfied with the cherry blossoms by night which overflow.

The pleasure by which sightseeing of cherry blossoms by night is also light up time frame. Flower viewing can be enjoyed a long period because there is also Sakura where "about 400 Kenroku-en chrysanthemum cherry trees" "Kenroku-en Kumagai" "Yang-gui-fei" aren't judged by other ones so much, and the cherry tree in Kenroku-en is different in a flowering period depending on the kinds.
A cherry tree of Kanazawa Castle Park is about 400, and Sakuranamiki where Ishikawa gate blooms along a garden path is beauty of the highlights. Gardening starts with a Kaga feudal clan Mijiro seigneur and Toshitsune-Maeda, and there aren't other "Tamaizumi inmaru gardens" a successive generations seigneur loved, the one by which a colorful stone wall is also a highlight. Shadow of Ishigaki who appears in darkness and a pale pink cherry tree create exquisite taste.

Time of the plum which is about 20 kinds, 200 which bloom at the middle of March is also recommended.

Kenroku-en of "summer" a firefly and a light up can enjoy

Azalea and Rabbit ear iris can bloom and enjoy a contrast with blue and wanton fresh green in early summer. Rabbit ear iris as much as 40,000 which bloom along meandering water meets best time at the beginning of June, and is also outstanding in the impression.

Summer is divisible time of the twice, "Kanazawa castle and Kenroku-en light up "step in early summer"" and "Kanazawa castle and Kenroku-en light up "step in summer"", and a free light up can be enjoyed. One during a period lets the song which hold "light up concert", and is "orchestra and ensemble Kanazawa" run as BGM, and if, the contents which can be enjoyed by the five senses.

Kenroku-en is flooding green, and clean water of Tatsumi water for irrigation is running, and though it's in a downtown, the form of the firefly and HEIKEBOTARU can be appreciated.

Kenroku-en of "autumn" where it can be satisfied with the multicolored world

The trees will begin to color a little in October, and Kenroku-en changes to a season of colored leaves. It's at the middle of ordinary year November that colored leaves meet best time. About 360 maples are planted, and red, yellow and in the park dyed vivid are beauty in which I hold my breath.

When coloring of colored leaves is so showy that Mt. Yamasaki with a lot of maples and deciduous trees of zelkova serrata is called "Momijiyama", it's famous. Kenroku-en is a best spot of colored leaves.

When colored leaves meet best time, it's time frame limitation, Kenroku-en, night free opening. "Kanazawa castle and Kenroku-en light up "step in autumn"" but it's held and the colored leaves lit up can be enjoyed. For "suspension of branches with rope" to be done for branch broken prevention by the weight of the snow from November 1, it's also charm that suspension of branches with rope and a contrast of colored leaves can be enjoyed.

The maple which falls dances on the moss and is also beautiful. Please be also satisfied with the color scheme born by the contrast.

It's being sold to the suspension of branches with rope by which Kenroku-en is charming sights of "winter".

When saying a winter pronoun in Kenroku-en, it's "suspension of branches with rope". The rope spread radially from a wooden point, already, art. When the suspension of branches with rope given to the trees in the park is seen, a heart can feel a winter visit, and jumps for the scenery the snowy country. The "Karasaki pine" which is also in an edge of "haze KE pond" at the inside is also outstanding in an existence sense. Since about 800 ropes are used for suspension of branches with rope of Karasaki pine, it's surprise.

When suspension of branches with rope fays with a coat of snow, more taste rises. It's Kanazawa where it snows from December to around February, but the amount of snow cover is decreasing by the mild winter in recent years. Because an snow-white snow scene tends to be valuable, the day Yuki estimated be satisfied with its scenery by all means, please.

At New Year's of January 3, Kenroku-en is opened for free of charge from December 31. It isn't being lit up, but the last day of the year and New Year's Day also open night, and it's also a wonderful point to be opened until a morning.
