A Beautiful Former Castle Residence with White-Gleaming Namako-kabe Fortress Walls

About this spot

A park adjacent to Kenroku-en Garden, built on the former castle grounds of the Maeda clan, rulers of Kaga's million-stone domain. The white-gleaming namako-kabe fortress walls and castle gates have been reconstructed, allowing you to view majestic castle architecture up close. The spacious grounds feature remains of stone walls and moats, where you can ponder the history of the Kaga clan. Walking this area along with Kenroku-en Garden provides a more three-dimensional understanding of how the castle town of Kanazawa developed.
