Located in Kanazawa, Japan. By: Kinchinosuke Tsuda, Japanese architect and Holtman, Dutch doctor. Originally built in Utatsuyama, east of Kanazawa and named “Utatsu Hachimangu” moved to its present location in Kanazawa in 1873. The unique eclectic blend of Japanese, Chinese and Dutch elements at the entrance gate (Shinmon) is one of the highlights.
