Oyama Shrine

The Oyama Shrine is a Shinto shrine in the east of Kanazawa (in Utatsuyama) that was founded in 1599. It was then moved to its current location and renamed the Oyama shrine. The main gate dates back from 1875 and its a mixture of Chinese, Japanese and European influences is what makes it unique. They say that the top floor has European style windows, the full height of the door (including the lighthouse approximately 25 m). Another attraction of this temple are the sculptures.
