Different from the gardens that can be viewed from the sitting room of the temple or the academy of the imperial palace, the voyage-style garden makes the most of the space of the land, excavating large ponds, building rockeries in the garden, and decorating with pavilions and tea houses. You need to watch them one by one to see all the sights. Because the garden has ponds scattered all over the place and crooked water running through it, the rockery built with the soil excavated from the ponds, and the scattered and colorful flowers and trees, it is also called "rockery, forest spring, and migratory garden".

    "Kanazawa City Park is next to the Kenliu Garden. It is a free park. It is much larger than the Kenliu Garden. It is recommended to visit Kanazawa. It is the cherry blossom season. The cherry blossoms in the park are also a large piece of blooming for people to watch, especially the night cherry here is very beautiful. The night cherry blossom season is even more crowded than the daytime, and it feels like a very historical park."
