What other travelers are saying about Oyama Shrine
Get yourself a piece of serenity.
Oyama Shrine offers more variety than most shrines. Starting with a beautiful entrance gate that combines Japanese, Chinese and Western styles. The temple grounds are relatively large and can accommodate many guests. Next to the main building is a garden area with a lake and a walkway through a wooded area where you can enjoy some peace and quiet. There is an exit at the back of the shrine that leads directly to Kanazawa Castle and the beautiful gardens.
Beautiful and peaceful spot to visit. We stumbled upon it while walking back from the Kenroku-en garden and I’m glad we walked in to explore. There is a nice pond with stepping stones and small bridges you can walk on, which was very fun!
Make sure to book a guide because there is just so much history about this Shrine and the surrounding area you do not want to miss.
This isn't just a pretty photo opp spit, but an actual religious site, so be respectful!
