About this place
Ozaki Shrine is a shrine in Kanazawa, Ishikawa. It enshrines Amaterasu Omikami, Tosho Daigongen and Maeda Toshitsune, the third lord of the Kaga Domain. Its vermilion-lacquered hall is studded with the crest of Tokugawa Ieyasu, and it was revered as the "Edo of Kanazawa Castle" and the "Nikko of Hokuriku". It is one of the shrines enshrining domain founders that became popular from the late Edo period to the early Meiji period. It is also known as Kanazawa Toshogu. It was built in 1643 (Kan'ei 20) by Maeda Mitsutaka, the fourth lord of the Kaga Domain, in the Kita-no-maru of Kanazawa Castle as Tosho Sansho Daigongen-sha. In 1874 (Meiji 7) it was renamed Ozaki Shrine through the separation of Shinto and Buddhism.
