gaolei Says: The local warlord had a castle overlooking the city. Here he could enjoy the view out to the sea, or just cross the street to his garden.
Visit the Warlord's Garden, (Kenrokuen Garden)
gaolei Says: The warlord in Kanazawa put a strolling style garden next to his castle in the late 1600's. You will see a very large garden surounding a lake that was designed just to please the warlord family. There are many buildings in the old Japanese style, as well as karasakinomatsu...
Visit a Samauri's Home (Nomura Family)
gaolei Says: In the old section of the city, there is a Samauri's home that is preserved for your viewing. As a high level Samauri, he had a comfortable house with a beautifully peaceful garden with a stream running through it. The spring is populated with very large Koi.
