    Ishikawa Pref. Kanazawashi Oyamamachi 11-1
    You’ll find this shrine in Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture. The founder of the Kaga Clan, Maeda Toshiie, and his lawful wife Matsu are enshrined here. It was constructed in 1873, before which time the spirits were enshrined together in Utasu Hachimangu (the present Utatsu Shrine) at the foot of the Mt. Utatsu. The three-level shrine gate was built in 1875 and combines Japanese, Chinese, and Western styles. It has been designated an Important Cultural Property. Vibrant glass fills the third level, giving it an otherworldly appearance when illuminated at night.

    Within walkable distance from Omicho market. We walked from Omicho market via small backstreets, and entered Oyama Shrine via their side entrance. I like the pond in the shrine grounds... it gives...

    Ishikawa Pref. Kanazawashi Kenrokumachi 1-3
    "A Shinto shrine dedicated to Sugawara no Michizane, seen as a god of scholarship, adjoining the south side of the Kenrokuen garden a 10 minute drive from JR Kanazawa Station. The shrine was originally established to serve as the guardian shrine of the Meirindo, a domain-run school built in 1794 by Maeda Harunaga, the 11th lord of Kaga Domain. The shrine is also dedicated to Hakuja Ryujin, the white snake god also affectionately known as ""Shirohebi-san"" and ""Mi-san"" who provides protection from fire, floods, and misfortune, as well as granting luck in monetary affairs and business. The grounds bustle with visitors during the shrine's New Year's Day festival as well as during the Hakuja and Tenjin festivals held on the 1st and 25th of every month, respectively. The shrine also allows Shinto-style wedding ceremonies to be held in front of the vibrant, vermillion-lacquered main shrine, a designated National Tangible Protected Cultural Property."

    It is a small Shinto shrine near Kanazawa Reitaku. As I went early in the morning, there were some visitors. Seemingly it is a popular place for local people. The gate and the washing basin are...

    Ishikawa Kanazawa-shi Higashiyama 1-30-8
    This shrine is at Higashiyama1-Chome, Kanazawa City. Erected about 1300 years ago as Tamonten Shrine, it is also called Bishamonsan. Originally the feudal lord, Maeda Toshiiewas enshrined in this place and venerated as a guardian against the unluckykimon gate. (It is currently relocated to Oyama shrine in Kanazawa City). The Setsubun Festival is held here annually and local geisha perform the bean throwing festivities.

    Located near the center of the old town in Kanazawa, Utasu Shrine seems ordinary at first glance. Yet a closer inspection reveals some unexpected residents lurking about.

    Ishikawa Pref. Kanazawashi Konohanamachi 11-27
    "Known as one of the ""Five Kanazawa Shrines"" and as the birthplace of Kaga Hachiman Okiagari roly-poly dolls, this Shinto shrine is also the only shrine in the prefecture to be dedicated to the god Suiten (in addition to being dedicated to Hachiman). The shrine was founded in 939. Located in Konohana-machi, a neighborhood which was once occupied by many swordsmiths, the shrine was once used for sword christening ceremonies, and accordingly it is also known as the ""Swordsmith Hachiman."" During the Edo period, the Maeda clan, which ruled Kaga Domain, would come here to pray for recovery when disease struck. The shrine's Kaga Hachiman Okiagari dolls are modeled after the image of the god Hachiman just after he was born when he was wrapped in crimson swaddling clothes. Images of the dolls are also painted on the shrine's charms and ema votive tablets, and many people purchase these and the tolls to pray for protection from misfortune, recovery from disease, and the health of their children."

    金沢駅からの距離はそんなに遠くはないですが、あまり観光地エリアではないのでわざわざ行く感じにはなるかも。創建は平安時代だそうで、長い歴史を誇ります。金沢水天宮も同じ境内にあり、安産などのご利益はどちらもあるようなので、そちらのお詣りをするにはいいかもしれません。

    Ishikawa Pref. Kanazawashi Marunouchi 5-5
    The Ozaki-jinja Shrine is a shinto shrine located just to the north of Kanazawa Castle Park, in the Marunouchi district of Kanazawa City. Maeda Mitsutaka, the fourth lord of the Kaga Domain, had the Ozaki-jinja Shrine built in the Kitanomaru (north bailey) of Kanazawa Castle in 1643 in memory of his great-grandfather Tokugawa Ieyasu; the Shrine was moved to its present location in the Meiji period. The main building of the Shrine has been designated a National Important Cultural Property. The Ozaki-jinja Shrine is also known as the Kanazawa Toshogu Shrine.

    宿泊したユニゾイン近くだったので、金沢城に行く途中に立ち寄りました。ぱっと見の名称からはわかりにくいですが、金沢東照宮とも呼ばれるそうで、徳川家康などをお祀りしている場所で、さすがに立派でしたが、尾山神社ほどのインパクトはなかったです。

    Ishikawa Pref. Kanazawashi Nomachi 2-1-8
    "A Shinto shrine dedicated to the goddesses Amaterasu Omikami and Toyouke-hime Omikami standing along National Route 157, a 10 minute drive from JR Kanazawa Station. Counted as one of Japan's Seven Shinmei Shrines or one of Three Shimei Shrines. The shrine provides worshippers with protection from evil and misfortune and, since ancient times, has been nicknamed ""Oshinmei-san."" The shrine's Himachi Festival and Aburimochi Shinji, regular spring and autumn festivals have been held for over 300 years. A giant Japanese zelkova tree on the shrine's grounds is some 1,000 years old and is the biggest such tree in the prefecture."

    金沢市の繁華街の南側の犀川を超えた幹線道路沿いにあります。車通りが多い通り沿いですが、一歩境内に入ると静かで、人も自分以外はいない状態でした。悪事災難厄除けに御利益があるあぶり餅神事が有名だそうですが、そのイベントと関係ない訪問だとやはり樹齢1000年という大ケヤキに存在感を感じますね。

    Ishikawa Kanazawa-shi Nakamuramachi 16-1
    This history-leaden Shinto shrine celebrated its 1,100th anniversary in 2009. The Haiden front shrine was once the Bugakuden (noh stage), which stood on the grounds of Kanazawa Castle’s outer citadel. Later moved here, it is one of only a very few of Kanazawa Castle’s original structures still standing and was designated a Tangible Cultural Property by the Agency for Cultural Affairs in 2004.

    金沢の犀川近くにある神社仏閣が集まるエリアの神社です。１０００年以上の歴史ある神社だそうで、拝殿は金沢町の能楽堂を移築したものだそうです。厳かな雰囲気を持つ神社でした。

    金沢城公園や兼六園、金沢21世紀美術館などが周辺にある広阪の交差点からすぐのところにあります。なんと約1500年前の547年の創建らしく、当然ながら金沢で最も古いそう。そのためある種のパワースポット的な感じのある場所でした。

    兼六園の南側のエリアにあります。戊辰の役において戦死した加賀藩の藩士を祀ったのが最初みたいでその後はいくつかの戦争の死者が合祀されています。境内はシンプルで、広々とした護国神社によくあるスタイルであまり目を引くような感じではないです。

    主計町茶屋街から暗がり坂を通ってアプローチしました。かなり歴史は長いみたいですし、場所側やはり主計町のお店の氏神様となってりるようです。泉鏡花の生家が近くにあったこともあり、詠んだ句碑があるのでそちらのファンにも良いと思います。

    ７１７年に奈良の春日大社の分社として創建されましたが、一揆により焼失しましたが、１６３６年前田利常により現在地で再興されました。１８７４4年に小坂神社と改称されました。木々に囲まれた石段はかなり長く、心の道の寺社巡りの終盤で予定外の苦戦です。夕暮れ時で境内に人影はなく、静かに参拝をしました。

    それほど広くはない敷地ですが、樹々が茂り、鳥のさえずりのある神社。守られてるな〜と感じました。 後、出世稲荷神社（菅原道真）も弊社されてます。 こちらも守っていきたいと感じました。

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.
