What is Kanazawa Castle?
Kanazawa castle is located in Marunouchi, Kanazawa, in Ishikawa prefecture (Formerly Kaga province, Ishikawa-gun, Kaganokuni). It was built on the Kodatsuno Plateau between the Saigawa River and the Asano River, which flows through the Kanazawa plains.
During Edo period (1603-1868), Kanazawa castle prospered as a castle town of Kaga Hyakumangoku and was used as a residence of the Maeda clan, the head of the Kaga domain.
Today, the area around the castle, including the ruins of Kanazawa Castle, a national historic site, has been developed into Kanazawa Castle Park, and is one of Kanazawa's most popular tourist attractions.
Kanazawa castle was constructed from the Warring States period (1467-1615) to the Edo period and is classified as a hilltop castle with a teikakushiki layout.
It has a distinctive exterior with white walls made of white mortar and flat lead tiles.
The beautiful white roof tiles of Kanazawa Castle can be seen at 0:04 in the video.
Hashizume mon (gate) is the highlight of Kanazawa castle.
Although it was burned down in 1881, it was restored to its former glory in 2015.
Be sure to check out the interesting shapes of the rocks used in the stone walls at different gates.
There so many interesting spots in Kanazawa park!
The castle tower was destroyed by lightning three years after Toshiie Maeda became lord of the castle after the Battle of Shizugatake.
