Enjoy beautiful irises and hydrangeas! Hanashobuen

The "Hanashobuen" in the park has 200,000 irises of about 100 varieties and 2,900 hydrangeas, which are at their best from early June to mid-July.
In the same park, visitors can enjoy flowers and trees not only in summer but also in all four seasons, including the "Hanaki-en," which has approximately 8,000 azaleas of 12 varieties.

The panoramic view to the Sea of Japan is also recommended!

Utatsuyama Park is also attractive for its excellent views. There are several viewpoints within the park. The view from "Bokodai" can be seen as far as the Sea of Japan on a clear day, and from "Gazemo-no-oka," which was newly developed in 1991, you can see Kanazawa Station and the Kahoku Lagoon area.

The area can be accessed by bus from Kanazawa Station. Also, although it is hilly, it is a 15-minute walk from "Higashi Chaya-gai," a popular sightseeing spot in Kanazawa, so it is a good idea to extend your walk a little further♪.
