    A Japanese iris garden located inside Utatsuyama Park. Built halfway up Mt. Utatsu, the garden is divided into three sections: the upper terraced Japanese iris beds, the middle consisting of Japanese irises and a stream, and the lower Japanese irises and a pond. The garden has been planted with 200 thousand Japanese iris plants spanning around 100 varieties, as well as some 2,900 bigleaf hydrangeas, and from mid-June to mid-July when they come into bloom, the garden is stunningly beauty.

Long, thin Ishikawa prefecture runs along the Sea of Japan up into Noto Peninsula. Highlights of the seaside towns lining the west coast include Kanazawa, often described as a "Little Kyoto" thanks to its old wooden tea houses and geisha culture as well as its picturesque Japanese garden, Kenroku-en.
