Visit Kenrokuen in Kanazawa

For those traveling on the Thunderbird Limited Express train, we recommend visiting Kenrokuen, one of Japan's three major gardens located in Kanazawa. It is a garden with a pond that stands out in a large area. You can enjoy plum blossoms and cherry blossoms in spring, azaleas in summer, autumn leaves in autumn, and snowy scenery in winter, so it is a good place to visit any time of the year.
