History
In 1794 CE (Kansei 6), Maeda Toshiyuki, the 11th lord of the Kaga Domain, founded the shrine to enshrine Sugawara no Michizane as the guardian deity of the Meirindo domain school. It was later known as 'Takezawa Goten Go-chinju Tenmangu' (Guardian Tenmangu Shrine of Takezawa Palace) serving as the guardian shrine for the Takezawa Palace, but was renamed Kanazawa Shrine in 1876 CE (Meiji 9). The main hall (honden) and worship hall (haiden) are registered as Important Cultural Properties by the national government.

What visitors say
Located right next to Kenrokuen Garden, this shrine features vermilion buildings that create a vibrant atmosphere. Popular items include water omikuji (fortune slips where text appears when dipped in water) and Goshuin (calligraphic seal stamps) containing gold leaf. There are limited-time bonuses for academic amulets, and visitors with Kenrokuen tickets can re-enter the garden, making the surrounding area very convenient for worship.
