History
Standing at the summit of Oyama mountain in Kanazawa is a shrine guarding the warrior spirit. Oyama Shrine honors Maeda Toshiie, embodying courageous heart and righteous integrity. Like its name, the shrine stands at the mountain's peak, closest to heaven, where this deity transmits the divine will to earth below. Those who pray here seek not merely victory, but the honor earned through walking the righteous path. High above Kanazawa's streets, this sacred light continues to shine brilliantly eternal.
