Shrine

641 Reviews Details

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.

Beside Kanazawa Castle and Kenrokuen Garden, Oyama Shrine is maybe a symbol of Kanazawa. Its unique gate is photogenic. This is the place where I come first, when I every time come to Kanazawa.
