Oyama Shrine

Here are some must-see tourist spots on your trip to Kanazawa♪ Oyama Shrine is an essential place when talking about Kanazawa, and is a shrine dedicated to Maeda Toshiie, the founder of the Kaga Domain with a million koku of rice. The main gate, the Shinmon Gate, is a nationally designated Important Cultural Property, and is unusual in that it uses stained glass! It is an interesting building that mixes Western and Japanese styles, and is a popular New Year's Eve spot for Kanazawa residents. The grounds have a pond, creating a very tasteful and peaceful atmosphere, and there is also a statue of Maeda Toshiie. #Kanazawa #Retro Spot
