#1 of 7,498 in Things to do in Chubu

Explore the natural scenery and nooks and crannies in Kenrokuen Garden, a sprawling park that once served as the outer gardens of Kanazawa Castle. Ponds, bridges, and teahouses punctuate the grounds, full of blossoming trees and walking trails. Look for Japan's oldest fountain, which operates via natural water pressure, and for Flying Geese Bridge, made of eleven individual stones that mimic geese flying in formation. A pedestrian way outside the garden's paid entrance is lined with picturesque shops and restaurants.

5歳と0歳子連れで訪問、JTBツアーの特典に入っていたガイドを利用。寄観亭から出発して30分のガイドで、子供が飽きるかと思いきや、大変軽快で明快なガイドさんのお話に、子供含めた家族一同感動。 4人の大人のうち3人が二度目、三度目の兼六園訪問でしたが、全員新しい発見があり、ガイドを利用して本当に良かったです。時間もちょうどよく、子供も飽きずにお庭の散策を楽しんで、兼六園の壮大さに感動していたよう... more »

Using the guide was in the benefits of visiting a JTB tour and 5-year-old 0-year-old child. Departs from the drop view Pavilion, are tired of the children in the 30 minute guide to think when Guide and very light, clear it of families including children to talk about impressed all of us. Three out of four adults 2 second, third and 6 park visitors could all new discoveries and, by using the Guide, is really good. Good times, tired children enjoyed garden walks, and, as was impressed by the grandeur of the 6 Park. Difference are everywhere, but cannot walk in the stroller. It might be better was rather wide. We stayed at Hotel mount Swan road the next morning, I went to take a walk early in the morning. Bathed in the Sun but cold with scattered among and 6 garden, become very Holy and peaceful feeling. And enthusiasm always seemed to be local people who are passing and the Kanazawa I came to love.
