Kanazawa – Kenrokuen Garden Winter 2011
Finally I know why it almost never snows in Kobe or Tokyo – simply because all the snow fall is in Kanazawa! So if you want to see a real winter in Japan and you have no time to go to Hokkaido – just go to the Japanese Sea shore. There will be plenty of snow – I guarantee.
Kenrokuen garden is one of the must see gardens in Japan. We saw it before during the beginning of the spring (first half of February) so we didn’t expect to be much different at the end of January – but we were completely wrong. Here are the pictures from our “early spring” trip and below are the photos from yesterday (3oth of January 2011). I will just let you enjoy the photos – and Yes, I strongly recommend to visit Kenrokuen during the winter, the spring or any other season you can afford to do it. You will not be disappointed!
First, the tea houses/souvenirs shops just before the entrance to the park (they serve also good udon and soba in some of them):
A view toward the castle which is just in front of the park:
And let the Kanazawa Kenrokuen garden winter fairy tail begin :)
