Visiting Oyama Shrine by mistake

Visiting Oyama Shrine by mistake

[April 2012] We were walking with Kanazawa guidebook, and we came across this Oyama Shrine, which was not in our route.

Because Japanese streets do not have names, it is difficult to walk even with a map.

I found that the names of traffic lights are useful.

At least they will tell you that you are walking opposite way.

Anyway, this Oyama Shrine was quite nice with a lot of blossoms.

I looked up the internet and found that it was built in 1873 and the front gate is listed as one of the state cultural properties.
