Kenroku-en, Japanise garden

Its big and extremly beatiful.

located in Kanazawa, Ishikawa, Japan, is an old private garden developed from the 1620s to 1840s by the Maeda clan, the daimyo who ruled the former Kaga Domain.
Along with Kairaku-en and Koraku-en, Kenroku-en is one of the Three Great Gardens of Japan. It is open year-round during daylight hours and famous for its beauty in all seasons; an admission fee is charged.

the garden has something to offer every time of the year..we ar ehere in the spring and we have the magnific sight of all the cherry blossoms, magnolias and great weather during our visit.

Kenroku-en means "Water and View" every garden woth mentioning in Japan has three element that needs to be forfilled: A feeling of space, elderdom, view, running water, ingeniousnes and secludedness. This garden has it all :)

After the garden walk we went to a gold-leaf factory.

This is indeed the factory that made all the gold for

the golden pavillion that we will be viting in a few days :)

Its fun to c how 24 carat gold kan be so thin that you need to blow to get it on things.

There was ppl that had entire rooms covered in this..its a bit to much in my taste :P (pic)

We bought with us some gold leaf that we can put in food and drinks. It s very nice japanise decoration :) so next time its champagne u get 24 carat gold in it aswell :)
