Oyama Shrine

Another of the tourist destinations in Kanazawa, just next to one of the castle exits (which we couldn’t find our way because some roads in the castle were closed because of the recent earthquake damages). It was empty and it’s nice to see it’s different, western-style gate.

One of my favourite shrine, definitely a must-visit. They also so handwritten goushin, so make sure to grab one.

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.

Such a unique shrine and garden area. And we were lucky to visit during the 150th anniversary of the very unique gate. Also picked up a gorgeous Temple passport stamp for my book.

We accidentally stumbled upon the shrine while on a walk. Unfortunately the front of the shrine was under construction so quite a big mess and lot of noise. It was still very beautiful with the small pond and such, so great place to pass by and give a prayer while on a city stroll :))
