Kenrokuen Gardens
Kenrokuen Gardens, one of Japan’s most celebrated landscape gardens, captured just before a torrential downpour turned it into a scene out of a weather drama. This historic garden in Kanazawa is famous for its six perfect attributes—spaciousness, tranquility, artifice, antiquity, watercourses, and panoramas. Here, a fleeting moment of serenity with its iconic stone lanterns, winding paths, and elegant ponds—right before nature’s not-so-subtle reminder of who’s boss.
