Kanazawa Castle

One of Ishikawa prefecture’s most well known splendors, Kanazawa Castle, has been the pinnacle of power and architecture in the region since 1583. Official headquarters and strong hall of the powerful Maeda Clan, the castle has, however, suffered many disasters and been rebuilt several times including the most recent addition in 2015 of the Gyokuseninmaru Garden (not on this video) and Hashizume-mon Gate (on this video).
Beautiful all year long, it is however during the hanami season (cherry blossoms) and in winter, under a thick blanket of snow, that Kanazawa Castle is by far at is best!
