Meeting Point

Look out for green and white flag "Japan Panoramic Tours." Note: Kenroku-en has several entrances. Our meeting point, Kenrokuen Information Center, is located at the Main Entrance (Katsurazaka Gate) beside the pedestrian bridge connecting Kenroku-en and Kanazawa Castle. If you can see the castle across the bridge, you are at the right place. If taking a taxi, please show your driver: 「兼六園の桂坂口料金所前までお願いします。」 (“Please take me to the Katsurazaka Gate ticket booth at Kenroku-en.”)
