One of the recommended things to do in winter at Kenrokuen is to see the annual "Yukitsuri" hangings. The pattern of ropes stretched out like umbrellas from the tops of the trees is a seasonal feature of winter in Kanazawa. At this time of year, it is a common sight in gardens in Ishikawa Prefecture.

 

After this guided tour is over, you can also have lunch at Kenrokuen!

The best way to warm up your body is with a meal. Each teahouse in Kenrokuen offers lunch that will let you experience the winter in Kanazawa. Warm up while admiring the beauty of the winter gardens.

With a professional tourist guide, you will get to know Kanazawa better and I hope you will want to come back.
