HistoQ! of Kanazawa Castle and Kenrokuen Garden
The history of Kanazawa Castle and Kenrokuen Garden dates back to 1546,
when Kanazawa Mido, a religious school of the Honganji temple was
founded. Oda Nobunaga ordered his retainer, Sakuma Morimasa, to build a
castle in 1580, and three years later Maeda Toshiie made his entry into
Kanazawa Castle. Until 1869 Kanazawa Castle was the residence of the
Maeda lord of Kaga Domain for 14 generations. The castle site was used as
an army base until the end of World War 11, and until 1995 it served as the
campus of Kanazawa University. At present it is being transformed into a park
where visitors can learn about its bountiful nature and history right in the
downtown area.
Kenrokuen Garden is said to have originated when the 5th Lord Tsunanori
built the Renchiochin house on the slope facing the castle, and gave its
garden the name Renchitei. Later the 12th Lord Narinaga and the 13th Lord
Nariyasu built an extensive garden which had the basic design of the
magnificent landscape garden in the strolling style that we know today. The
garden, which has a particular charm in every season, has been designated
as a Place of Scenic Beauty. Many people come from all over Japan to enjoy
it.
«Why the name "Kenrokuen"? »
The garden was named Kenrokuen in 1822, based on
Rakuyo Meienki, a classical Chinese book about the
famous gardens of Luoyang. It is built around three sets of
contrasting garden elements: spaciousness contrasts with
seclusion, artifice contrasts with antiquity, and water-
courses contrast with panoramas. Thus the name: Ken
("combined") roku ("six") en ("garden").
@Kotojitoro Lantern
This lantern is said to have gotten its name lrom
the lact that it is shaped like the bridges that
support the strings 01 a koto. Nijibashi Bridge,
which is in front of the lantern, is thought to
resemble the body of a koto, and for this reason
is sometimes called Kotobashi Bridge.
CDHishi yagura, Gojikken nagaya,
Hashizumemon tsuzuki yagura (Turrets & Store house)
These were all restored in July 2001. They form
the largest wooden castle structure in Japan that
was built since the Meiji periodo It is well worth a
visit to see the buildings that have been restored
using the traditional wooden frame construction
method, as well as various models on display.
~Ishikawamon Gate
The present Ishikawamon Gate, which has been
designated as a National Important Cultural
Property, was rebuilt in 1788. It is the back gate,
. and of the type referred to as masugatamon, or
"box-shaped gateway". Night-time illumination
gives it a particularly magical appearance.
@Sanjikken nagaya
This building, which has two-story, has been
designated as a National Important Cultural
Property, as well as Ishikawamon Gate. It was
built in 1858, and its present length is
approximately 48 m.
@Kahokumon Gate
Kahokumon Gate has a masugata (2 gates
lacing each other at right angles) shape and it
essentially lunctioned as the main gate 01
Kanazawa castle. Moreover, Kahokumon`s
secondary gate (ni-no-mon) is the biggest gate 01
the castle. This gate was restored in April 2010
and the interior view is open to the public.
@Gyokusen`inmaru Garden
Named after Gyokusen`in, the wile 01 Toshinaga,
the second feudal lord. In 2015, the garden was
rebuilt around !he pond, based on its design in the
late Edo penad (19th eentury). The Gyokusen`an
rest area is located by the pond, where for a small
lee visitors can enjoy matcha green tea and
Japanese-style conlection .

CVKarasakinomatsu Pine
This tree was grown by the 13th lord 01 the Kaga
clan frorn a seed that he obtained from Karasaki
in Omi. It is the shapeliest black pine in the

The source 01 this fountain is Kasumigaike Pond,
and it operates by natural water pressure
resulting frorn a differenee in elevation that
creates the approximately 3.5-meter lountain.

it is said to be the oldest lountain in Japan.
@Hanamibashi Bridge
The Ilowers seen at different times 01 the year
frorn Hanamibashi Bridge are particularly
beautiful. The loveliest 01 these are the cherry
blossoms, irises and azaleas that bloom along
the gently-Ilowing, winding stream.

eompletion 01 the new garden in 2000. It is used
