[Ishikawa Family] Cherry blossoms at Kanazawa Castle Park, the famous castle of the Kaga Domain.

Kanazawa Castle, the famous castle of the Kaga Domain, boasts a million koku of rice and is the pride of Ishikawa Prefecture. The approximately 400 cherry trees surrounding Kanazawa Castle and the moat stand out against the chalk walls, making this a more spectacular cherry blossom viewing spot than Kenrokuen. It is located in front of Kenrokuen, which is very popular with foreigners, so you can enjoy two cherry blossoms at once. The area around Ishikawamon Gate, the main gate, is particularly spectacular, and events are held there, there is a rickshaw service, and it is crowded with many people. It is lit up at night, and the beauty is different from that during the day, making it truly fantastic.
