Pretty ginger with lots of people taking pictures and also exploring the area. The area is made up of a dirt and rock path and a water lake with a connected wood or rock bridge. There are sakura trees that are blossoming and very pretty. They are either red of white and look like a sakura tree but are not. On top of the water there are some bridges that lead to the other sides but some of the bridges are closed off due to most likely other customers who fell off because of their stupidity. Now the bridge is closed off for everyone but it is still very easy to fall off if you just make one missed foot. Chilling before walking on the bridge is recommended so you don’t fall off because that will be very bad.

It's quite small compared to the other ones from big cities. However, i found it fits perfectly to the city. It's stunning in the evening light, has an interesting designed gate opposite, which was also a scene in an anime. The garden gave a tranquil vibe with well placed japanese trees, the bridge and the pond with colorful koi fishes. I went there in an evening, not many tourists and the best light shining on the shrine. Recommended. At the end you could go over to the castle side with the bridge.

I came on a weekday and it wasn’t that busy. Definitely should see this shrine if you can! It is humongous and there are lots to see. They give out handwritten goshuins here and you’ll see some exclusive goshuincho too. You’ll get a slip of paper with a number on it and they’ll tell you to come back in a few minutes. There’s a lot of art and a garden going on. There’s a pond with carp swimming around. It’s very tranquil.

Established in 1599 and dedicated to Maeda Toshiie the first lord of Kaga. Moved to the current location in 1873. The main gate dates back to 1875 and is 82 ft/25 m tall. The gate is a mix of Japanese, Chinese and European (Dutch stained glass windows) architectural elements. It's believed that the third floor was used as a lighthouse. In the shrine you can see a traditional palankin with samurai weapons.

I have been to Kanazawa Castle many times but I somehow have never been to this shrine despite it being fairly close by. I am so glad that I finally visited. The shrine's facade has very interesting architecture, and the pond inside is just lovely. The area around the shrine also has a few cute cafes, so it looks like a nice place to spend an afternoon.

地震がくる前の12/31に撮影しました 初詣ように屋台の準備をされたり、雪が積もっていて風流な感じでした 入り口の神門は国の重要文化財にも指定されています 階段を上がっていくと、小さな祠がありそこが松のお墓になっているそうです 神社でもあり庭園があるので、散策されている方もいらっしゃいます また、奥の方には金沢城に続く橋もまた芸術的な情景をつくっています 本殿の左側には御守りなどを売っている社屋があり、パスポートのようなデザインの御守りもあります とてもゆったりと癒される空間でした I took this picture on December 31st, before the earthquake occurred. People were preparing for the street stalls for Hatsumode (first shrine visit of the year), and the snow piling up created a serene atmosphere. The entrance gate, called the "Shinmon," is designated as an important cultural property by the government. As you climb the stairs, you'll find a small shrine believed to be the tomb of Matsu. It's not only a shrine but also a place with a garden, attracting visitors who enjoy strolling around. Furthermore, in the back, there is a bridge that connects to Kanazawa Castle, creating an artistic scene. On the left side of the main hall, there is a Shoya (office) where you can buy amulets, including one designed like a passport. It was a very relaxing and soothing space.
