VISIT KANAZAWA, JAPAN - Official Travel Guide

Connecting Oyama Jinja Shrine and Kanazawa Castle is the Nezumitamon Gate which opened its doors in 2020. The history of this bridge dates back to the early 17th century. In 2015 the reconstruction of Nezumitamon Bridge and Gate was confirmed in the Third Kanazawa Castle Park Development Project. In 1877 the Nezumitamon Bridge was demolished due to age and wear, and in 1884, a fire destroyed the gate. Both were reconstructed using historical records and today we can enjoy the beauty of the gate as it was 400 years ago.
