The azaleas in Hikoso Ryokuchi in Hikoso Town are at their best.
On social networking sites such as Twitter and Instagram, many people have been taking pictures and posting photos of Hikoso Ryokuchi filled with flowers. It seems that people are paying attention to the beauty of azaleas in full bloom, weeping cherries, and buttons that bloomed at the same time.
There are also cultural facilities within walking distance, such as the Machumin Bunka-kan, Izumi Kyoka Memorial Museum, and Kanazawa Gramophone Museum. Those who stop by the vicinity during Golden Week are encouraged to take a look. The garden is small but safe, with a rest area to sit out of direct sunlight and a multi-purpose restroom.
By bus, it is about a 3-minute walk from the 「Owari-cho」 bus stop on the Hokuriku Railway route bus, about a 5-minute walk from the 「Hashiba-cho」 bus stop on the Castle Town Kanazawa Shuto Bus, Hokuriku Railway route bus, and Nishinippon JR Bus, and about a 1-minute walk from the 「Hikoso Ryokuchi」 bus stop on the Kanazawa Flat Bus Konohana route.
