[2025 Kanazawa Attraction] Travel Guide for Kanazawa Shrine (Updated Jul)

#Tokyo Attractions 【#思思贤叹世界】🍁 Kanazawa's secret maple viewing spot: Kanazawa Shrine next to Kenrokuen Garden⛩️ Last time I shared the beautiful autumn leaves of Kenrokuen Garden. This time I want to recommend a hidden attraction: Kanazawa Shrine right next to Kenrokuen Garden! This is not only the origin of the name Kanazawa, but also the royal shrine where the Lord of Kaga Domain prayed for blessings. It is full of historical heritage. While worshipping the god of learning, Sugawara no Michizane, and praying for a smooth academic career, don't forget to visit Kinjo Reizawa - it is said that this is the origin of the name Kanazawa, and there is free spring water to drink! ✨ The shrine and the red leaves complement each other, and it's as beautiful as a postcard! 🍁 After visiting Kenrokuen Garden, why not stop by Kanazawa Shrine to feel the tranquil atmosphere! 📍Address: 1-3 Kenroku-cho, Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture ⏰Opening hours: 24 hours 💰Cost: Free 🚗Transportation: Take the Castle Town Kanazawa Tour Bus from Kanazawa Station East Exit No. 3 Take the Kenrokuen Shuttle Bus from Bus No. 6 at the East Exit of Kanazawa Station and get off at Seisonkaku-mae Get off at the North Rail Bus stop "Chengxun Pavilion" #SiSiXian sighs at the world #SiSiXian #Tokyo #Tokyo Suburbs #Red Leaves #Shrine

Located beside Ishikura Shrine, Kanazawa Inari Shrine (Hirozaka Inari Shrine) is a hidden gem full of spiritual energy. It shares its history with Ishikura Shrine as one of Kanazawa's oldest places of worship, but it is smaller in scale, making it an ideal spot for a tranquil and purifying visit. The shrine is dedicated to the deity Inari, who is believed to protect the harvest and promote commercial prosperity. It is particularly popular among local chefs, artists, and even long-distance runners. Kanazawa Inari Shrine is renowned for its "Somin Shorai Healthy Feet Prayer," offering specially designed prayer cards for professional runners and soccer players to wish for healthy legs and sustained stamina. Walking through the Thousand Torii Gates pathway, you'll find tightly arranged red torii gates forming a mesmerizing tunnel of light and shadow. Along the path, there are also small ponds and unique offerings such as the Knife Mound, Sushi Mound, and an inverted stone lion statue, adding a touch of mystery and charm. I highly recommend visiting in the morning or before sunset when the soft light enhances the serene beauty of the torii gates and stone lions bathed in orange hues. After paying your respects, take a moment to sit quietly and meditate, allowing yourself to feel the subtle yet profound power of faith. 📍Location: Hirozaka Inari Shrine (next to Ishikura Shrine) 🚶♀️Suggested itinerary: Start by visiting Ishikura Shrine and then stroll into the Inari area to experience this small sanctuary of faith and life balance.
