Kenroku-en Map
Kenroku-en,
a strolling-style landscape garden counted
as one of the three Great
Gardens of Japan.
Official website :★
与えられていた時間内では全てを見ることはできないので、
'霞ヶ池'と'瓢池' (ヒサゴイケ) の周囲のみを散策しました。公式HP: ★
It was impossible we could see all areas in our time,
so we only walked around 'Kasumiga-ike Pond' and 'Hisago-ike Pond'.

雪なしの兼六園
Kenroku-en Without Snow
この時期に北陸旅行を計画したのは、Rに雪の兼六園を見せたかったからでした。
おそらくこのツアーの参加者の殆どが雪の兼六園を期待していたのではないでしょうか?
私達が21日に羽田空港を離れた あとに、東京周辺では雪が降ったようです。
私達にとっては、なんともひにくな話。
能登半島でも金沢でも平均よりも暖かく、実際なら喜ぶべきことですが、私は少なからずがっかりしましたが、まあ、諦めもはやくつきました。
ここからの景色が一番有名かもしれません。
Kotoji Stone Lantern: ★
Perhaps a view of here is the most popular.
こんな感じを期待していたのですよね〜。またはここ→★ I expected to see something like this~! And also here →★ 写真は下記より/ This from below Japanese Wikipedia ★ |
Kenroku-en Without Snow
I had planned our Hokuriku Trip in this season, because I would show R "Views of Kenroku-en in Snow".
Perhaps most of our tour group also expected snow, didn't they?
We left Haneda Airport on 21st of January, and then I later heard that there was snow around Tokyo.
For us, it was very ironic.
Noto Peninsula and Kanazawa were warmer than average, usually we should be pleased, though I was a little disappointed, Oh! well.

ほんのちょっぴりの雪を見つけました! I found just a little bit of snow! |

蓬莱島(ホウライジマ)
蓬莱は仙人が住む場所。 別名は形が亀甲に似ているので、亀甲島 (キッコウジマ) と言います。
こう、聞いて '亀仙人' (カメセンニン/ ★) を思い浮かべるのは私だけでしょうか?
'Hourai island'
They say Sennin : Hermit or Mountain wizard lives in Hourai, so this island represents immortality. Another name is 'Kikkou island' ; Kikkou means a tortoise shell. The form is like a tortoise shell, hence it is called 'Kikkou island'.
Tortoise is 'Kame' in Japanese.
After I got this information, perhaps
only I would have imagined 'Master Roshi' as 'Kame-Sennin'?
According to Dragon Ball Wikia about him : ★
"Master
Roshi (武天老師, Muten
Rōshi),
also known as
the Turtle
Hermit (亀仙人, Kamesennin),
is a major supporting protagonist in the Dragon
Ball manga and
Dragon
Ball anime,
who also makes a few appearances
in Dragon
Ball Z and Dragon
Ball GT."

Even though there are not snow, 'Yukitsuri', protective ropes are there.
'Yukitsuri' preserve trees and shrubs from heavy snow
and is a popular sight in the garden during the winter. |

When Kasumiga-ike Pond was dug and enlarged,
the soil was used for the hill.
