About
Feudal castle grounds with reconstructed towers, defensive gates, and views of old fortifications.
The towers and gates of this castle, rebuilt after several fires, showcase the defensive architecture of the Maeda lords. Visitors walk through courtyards and timber-framed halls, while the surrounding park offers peaceful strolls. Kanazawa's feudal past comes alive within these walls.
