Oyama Shrine in Kanazawa, Japan, is a historically significant Shinto shrine that dates back to 1599. It is dedicated to Maeda Toshiie, the first lord of the powerful Kaga Domain. One of the most distinctive features of the shrine is its unique gate, which was designed by a Dutch architect and incorporates elements of European, Chinese, and Japanese design. The gate also houses a rare stained-glass window, adding to its eclectic charm. The shrine is located in a serene, lush garden, providing a peaceful retreat from the city's hustle and bustle.
