Kenroku-en, located in Kanazawa, Japan, is one of the country's most celebrated traditional gardens. Spanning approximately 25 acres, it exemplifies the six attributes of a perfect garden: spaciousness, seclusion, artifice, antiquity, water courses, and panoramic views. Originally developed in the 17th century by the ruling Maeda family, Kenroku-en features meticulously landscaped ponds, streams, waterfalls, bridges, teahouses, and a variety of trees and flowering plants that provide year-round beauty.
