Kenrokuen
Siguretei
Outline of Facilities
In 1676 (Empo 4), Maeda Tsunanori, the 5th lord of the Kaga Domain, moved the construction office inside the castle in order to build on the site a villa called Renchi-ochin and a surrounding garden. This was the beginning of Kenrokuen.
The villa, which was rebuilt by the 6th lord Yoshinori, was located in front of the current fountain up until its destruction at the beginning of the Meiji era. During the latter half of the domain’s rule, it was also called Shigure-tei. In March 2000, it was restored at its current site. The 10-mat and 8-mat zashiki (tea rooms) facing the garden and the connecting okakoi (small tea room) were restored based on the floor plan preserved from that time.
