Stroll Through the Famous Kaga Garden, One of Japan's Three Most Beautiful Gardens

About this spot

A circuit-style garden created over many years by the Maeda clan, Kaga's feudal lords, and counted among Japan's three most famous gardens. In summer, the lush greenery of pines and the green of the pond create a beautiful landscape, and simply walking through the garden allows you to experience the deep culture of Kaga's million-stone domain. Throughout the garden, points of seasonal interest are scattered, such as the famous Kotoji lantern, making it perfect for family strolls. Begin your day heading to the festival by spending a leisurely time in this historic Kaga garden.

金沢に隣接する野々市市の中心部、本町通り一帯を会場に開かれる地域の夏まつりです。2026年は8月1日・2日の2日間の開催で、コースの対象日はその初日にあたります。地域に伝わる郷土芸能「じょんから踊り」を中心に、通りには次第に大きな踊りの輪が広がっていき、観客として見物するだけでなく、誰でも輪に加わって一緒に踊れるのがこのまつりの魅力です。商店街全体が提灯の明かりに包まれ、地元の人々と旅行者が入り混じって夜通し盛り上がる、地域密着型のあたたかな夏祭りです。

Tips

Summer sun can be strong, so carrying a parasol or hat is helpful. The garden is large, so it is more efficient to narrow down the sites you wish to visit.

Best time to visit

Approximately 1 hour. The late morning and early afternoon are relatively quiet for sightseeing.
