kanazawa castle
Kanazawa Castle, a symbol of Japan's rich feudal history, stands majestically in Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture. This castle, partially restored, has witnessed the rise and fall of the Maeda clan, who ruled the region from the Sengoku period until the Meiji Restoration. Adjacent to the beautiful Kenroku-en Garden, which was once the castle's outer garden, Kanazawa Castle is a testament to traditional Japanese architecture and the enduring legacy of the samurai era. Visitors can explore the castle's grounds and experience the history that shaped Kanazawa into the culturally vibrant city it is today.
