Dedicated to Maeda Toshiie, the first lord of the powerful Maeda Clan, Oyama Shrine stands as a captivating testament to regional samurai heritage. Originally established in 1599 and later relocated to its present site, the shrine is celebrated for its distinctive main gate, which incorporates Dutch stained-glass elements and European design influences. Visitors can wander through peaceful grounds that feature a charming stroll garden with tranquil ponds, stone bridges, and lush seasonal foliage. It serves as an atmospheric, culturally rich sanctuary situated just steps from Kanazawa Castle.
