Kenroku-en, founded in 17th century
and completed in 1819, named after a garden
combining the six attributes of a perfect landscape garden:
spaciousness, seclusion, artifice, antiquity, watercourses and
panoramas - is a strolling-style landscape garden with the
characteristics of a typical landscape garden of the Edo period. Originally the outer garden of
Kanazawa castle, it was located on the slope facing the castle. In
1676, the 5th lord Maeda Tsunanori built a rest house at the site and
started to landscape a garden called Renchitei
in the surrounding area.
