前田家奥方御殿その様式
成巽閣は武家書院造と数寄屋風書院造を一つの棟の中に組み入れた巧みな様式をもつ建造物であり、江戸時代末期（1860年代後半）の武家造の遺構としては類例のないものと高い評価をいただいています。
また、大名正室の御殿としては、日本国内に唯一現存する建造物となっております。

Omoto-no-en-teien(Rhodea garden)
Although the streams from the Garden of Horsetails flow through the Rhodea Garden, which faces the bedroom, the Rhodea Garden's appearance is completely different.
The streams here become deeper, and their gentle flow has been devised ingeniously to fill the air with the sound of water, evoking a hidden arbor deep in a mountain valley.
