Gyokusen’inmaru Garden in Kanazawa Castle was first built in 1634 by the third feudal lord and modified by the fifth and the thirteenth lord. As compared with Kenroku-en which was massive and designed for entertaining guests, Gyokusen’inmaru Garden is small yet beautiful and is believed to be the courtyard of the domain lord.
The garden was abandoned during the Meiji era (from end of the 19th century to early 20th century) and had been reclaimed to be a horse field and later a sports stadium till 2008. In 2009, the prefecture government initiated a project plan to unearth and restore the Gyokusen’inmaru Garden.
In March 2015, the exquisite garden and a rest house were opened.
玉泉院庭園是迴遊式庭園，一個大水池中央有3個小島、有土橋和石橋連接。當然現在遊客只能在外圍欣賞景色。
這幅「色紙段冊積石牆」以正方形、長方形石塊及V形石槽組成的石牆是金澤城最具創意的石牆。根據調查，從前曾有高達9公尺的瀑布流過。
玉泉庵是庭園內的休憩所，有幾間多用途日本傳統榻榻米空間，落地玻璃面對無敵庭園景，可以在這裡全天候享用傳統綠茶休息。
這裡的景觀相當漂亮。冬天來到金澤遊園，這裡嘆杯暖暖的綠茶，賞美景，簡直是天堂。
日本傳統的抹茶通常都會配一個和果子。這個可愛的和果子是這裡才可以吃到的限定版，色彩可愛也非常好味道！
