A walk in the rain at Kenrokuen Garden in Kanazawa...

After leaving Kanazawa Castle, I crossed the road to Kenrokuen Garden. It was still raining, so I entered through Katsurazaka Gate and wandered around Kenrokuen Garden with an umbrella... I unknowingly arrived at Kodatsuno Gate. 🎈Kenrokuen Garden is located next to Kanazawa Castle. It was built by Maeda Toshitsune, the lord of the Kaga Domain, in the mid-17th century. The name comes from "Luoyang Mingyuan Ji" by Li Gefei of the Song Dynasty, reflecting the combination of Chinese and Japanese garden art. Kenrokuen Garden is one of the three most famous gardens in Japan due to its grand scale and exquisite design... 📝Tips: The combined ticket for Kanazawa Castle and Kenrokuen Garden is JPY 500.
