Seisonkaku Villa Garden is a traditional Japanese garden in Kanazawa, in the Chubu Region of Japan. It surrounds Seisonkaku, a historic villa built in 1863, and the two were designed together, so the carefully shaped landscape is meant to complement the building's architecture.
What to expect
- Manicured landscapes laid out in the classic style of Japanese garden design.
- Stone lanterns placed among the paths and plantings.
- Seasonal flora, so the appearance of the garden changes through the year.
