Kanazawa Station, one of the most unique rail stations I've ever been.
Kanazawa sits on the Sea of Japan, bordered by the Japan Alps, Hakusan National Park and Noto Peninsula National Park. The city sits between the Sai and Asano rivers.
The name "Kanazawa" (金沢), which literally means "marsh of gold", is said to derive from the legend of the peasant Imohori Togoro (lit. "Togoro Potato-digger"), who was digging for potatoes when flakes of gold washed up. The well in the grounds of Kenrokuen known as 'Kinjo Reitaku' （金城麗澤）was recreated by the Maeda lords to acknowledge these roots. The area where Kanazawa City is was originally known as Ishiura Village, and the Ishiura Shrine near Kenrokuen is a remnant of this period.
