<p>Magnificent view of the Karasaki Pine</p>

<p>Kotoji Lantern in Kasumigaike Pond. This is the most popular spot in Kenrokuen Garden.</p>

<p>The famous snow protection on trees looked delicate and beautiful! Sadly, there was no snow on the trees on the day I visited.</p>

<p>When the sun set, trees by the lake were reflected on the surface of the pond</p>

<p>Trees illuminated in golden hues at Kenrokuen Garden</p>

<p>This black pine has grown from the seed of a Karasaki Pine standing by the Lake Biwa</p>

<p>Like a mirror, the pond reflected trees creating a symmetrical work of art</p>

<p>Since the area in front of the popular lantern was terribly crowded, I tried out the side angle. The uncommon angle was a refreshing change!</p>

On the first day of my trip to Hokuriku Region, I visited Kenrokuen Garden in Kanazawa City.

I was expecting to see beautiful trees with famous snow protection in a snow covered garden, but unfortunately it was a fine day and there was no snow to be seen in Kanazawa. Nature is whimsical! I left the snowy view for another time and decided to enjoy the lit-up garden instead. Kotoji Lantern and Karasaki Pine, the two major attractions of the garden, were reflected on the surface of Kasumigaike Pond, and as a night fell the magnificent symmetrical beauty was mirrored by the water.
