EXPERIENCE JAPAN'S EMERGING FALL COLORS AT KENROKUEN GARDEN AND CASTLE GATE IN KANAZAWA JAPAN
Three of the four videos in this Playlist capture the emerging fall colors at Kenrokuen Garden, one of Japan's most heralded gardens along with two others in Nikko and Okayama.
The fourth video captures the emerging fall colors at Kanazawa's Castle Gate just across from Kenrokuen.
Locations in the garden include the upper pond with its iconic stone lantern resembling a koto strings holder with its one leg longer than the other, the oldest fountain in Japan and the garden's lower pond.
Water flowing from the upper pond to the lower pond provides the pressure to raise up the fountain's waters. The fountain was built around 1861 some 165 years ago.
Kenrokuen Garden had its origin as a private garden for the Maeda Lord of neighboring Kanazawa Castle in the 1620s.

The symbol of Kanazawa Japan is a stone lantern located in the city's famed Kenrokuen Garden recognized as one of the three most beautiful gardens in nJapan.
The lantern is named Kotojitoro Lantern as a consequence of its resemblance to a bridge piece under the strings of a Japanese koto, Like the bridge on a koto, the lantern has two uneven legs.
In the garden one leg is in the water and one on the ground, symbolizing the connection between earth and water. It stands at 8.7 feet tall. Replicas have been gifted to Kanazawa's Sister Cities across the world. One also stands in America's most beautiful Japanese garden located in Portland Oregon.
