Kanazawa’s gateway is full of photogenic sights. The glass “Motenashi Dome” symbolizes hospitality like an umbrella, while the dramatic “Tsuzumi-mon” gate echoes a Noh drum. Shining by day and illuminated at night, the station has been called one of the world’s most beautiful. Inside, you’ll find gold leaf, Kaga Yūzen, Kutani ware, and Wajima lacquer—like a museum of Kaga Hyakumangoku craftsmanship—plus abundant dining and shopping at “Kanazawa Hyakubangai.”
