Kanazawa Station is the biggest station in Ishikawa Prefecture. Opened in 1898, it serves as a terminus for trains and buses, and will also be a future Shinkansen bullet train station; that portion is set to open by 2015. The Tsuzumi Gate and Motenashi Dome (shown in the photo) were completed in 2005.
