For the best natural backdrops in Kanazawa, Kenrokuen tops the list.  Quaint bridges, winding stairs, stone lanterns, ponds, and traditional structures appear one after another, all within a short walking distance — making it easy to capture a variety of settings in a short period.

After years of photographing clients in Kenrokuen, I know which locations photograph particularly well, the best angles to use them, and how the light, crowds and scenery change throughout the day and across the seasons.
