Kanazawa, Japan, 8th November 2010 –  The most famous sight in Kanazawa! The Garden of Six Attributes is considered one of Japan’s Top 3 gardens.

Make sure if you are in the vicinity, not to miss this particular garden….and you can also visit the castle which is quite near it.

While not completed in its final form until the waning years of the Edo Shogunate, it still represents one of the peaks of Japanese strolling garden design.

The way in which water is piped from many kilometers upstream to fill its ponds and bubbling streams before going on to fill the castle moats is one of the great engineering feats of the Edo period.

During cherry blossom season, entry to the park is free and it’s open and lit up until 9 PM.
