Catch the train at Kanazawa Station, home to an impressive display of modern Japanese architecture. In front of the station's entrance stands the grand Tsuzumi-mon, a red gate in the form of a traditional Japanese hand drum. The main structure, the Motenashi (Welcome) Dome, consists of a high, swooping roof of steel frames and a spherical glass design. This area also has shopping stores and sometimes hosts small events.

  駅ビルに土産店や飲食店、色々なお店がありお客さんでごった返していました。買い物に迷うくらいでした。 駅ビル前の大門は圧巻です。  more »

  There were souvenir shops, restaurants, and various shops in the station building, and there were a lot of customers. I was so lost in shopping. The main gate in front of the station building is a masterpiece.
