A couple days ago I went to Kanazawa City with my family to see a night view of a Japanese garden, called Kenroku-en.
As you know, this winter we have had a lot of snow. When we arrived at the park, there were a lot of snow. It was very cold. Our daughter started to complain about the snow and cold weather.
However, when we looked around the night view of the Japanese garden, we gasped. It was so dreamy, fantasy and beautiful!!
All trees covered with snow were lighted up with some lights. It was so favolous! We have a lot of snow here where we live. To protect the heavy snow, all trees are covered by Yukitsuri. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yukitsuri We could see the Yukitsuri in Kenroku-en too. The scenery is very popular in winter.
While looking around the garden, we could listen to nice music. It was mix of guitar sound and a Chinese instrument, called "erhu". It created very fantastic atmosphere. We loved it.
I love Japanese gardens. They have a lot of different faces in each season. I can't tell you that which season is the best because cherry blossoms in springs, green leaves in summers, yellow, orange and red leaves in autumns and a lot of snow in winters, all of them are so nice!

A couple days ago I went to Kanazawa City with my family to see Kenroku-en Japanese garden at night. We Japanese refer to this as a "night viewing".
This winter we have had a lot of snow.
When we arrived at the park, it was covered in snow.
When we looked around the night view of garden, we gasped and my daughter forgot about her complaints.
It was so dreamy, fantastic and beautiful!!
All the trees were covered with snow and shining in the darkness with hundreds of lights.
It was so fabulous!
We have a lot of snow here where we live.
To protect the trees from the recent heavy snow all trees are covered by "yukitsuri", which is a material made from bamboo and ropes. See the reference below for a full explanation.
The yukitsuri is a beautiful feature of a very popular winter scene.
While looking around the garden, we listened to nice music.
It was mix of a guitar and a Chinese instrument called "erhu".
It created very a fantastic atmosphere.
I can't tell you which season is the best. There are cherry blossoms in spring, green leaves in summer, yellow, orange and red leaves in autumn and a lot of snow in winter. All of them are so nice!
