Kasuga Shrine

Is a company that will sit quite over 1200 years as a very common Shinto shrine in Kanazawa city, Ishikawa Prefecture. The Shogunate Red Torii is marked with a name given by many people for donation. The landscape of the precincts that are visible every seasons is reputed to bring about a definite healing in our daily lives, and the water of the handwater building, which continues to pump up from the basement, Please bring it back. I pray service throughout the year. We also do a business celebration such as Yasan, Hatsumiya, Shichigosan Sanno, mischief, automobile bike cleanliness, etc. Life ceremonies, ground festival, entrance clean, renovation construction safety prayers. Kiyomori who simply prays for the safety of travelers outside the hall is accepted in a short time even for groups, and it is easy to put your feelings from 500 yen into the saisen box as well as the original royalty fee.

Oyama Shrine

The unique entry gate for which this 1599 shrine is famous was originally part of Kanazawa Caste.

Oyama Shrine has a beautiful garden with a pond that you can walk over. There are a lot of ancient trees within the premises that give the shrine a mystic atmosphere. The main gate has a stained glass window, which makes its appearance unique. The rear exit will take you Kanazawa castle.

Myoryuji - Ninja Temple

Reviewed By kimbI2100RE

We struggled a bit to understand how we could get tickets for the ninja temple. We had to call someone through an intercom next to the gift shop to ask for a spot on a tour. We were lucky and we could join the tour that started 5 minutes later. We paid 1000 yen per person and got a binder with English explanation since the tours are only in Japanese. The temple has a really interesting architecture with a lot of hidden rooms, secret floors and other ninja features. We enjoyed our visit very much.
