There is a main street that runs from Musashigatsuji, where the Omicho Market is located, through Korinbo, the center of Kanazawa.

Cars and people pass by frequently.

I believe the narrow paths running parallel to the main street on either side are the roads that were used during the Edo period. The narrow path on the right leads to the Nagamachi Samurai District, and the narrow path on the left leads to this Oyama Shrine.

The shrine gate, adorned with stained glass made of glass, stands out prominently, drawing passersby to stop and admire it.

As you walk along the narrow path where sunlight filters through the trees, traces of Europe, which arrived across the sea, gently spread through the Edo-period setting.
