Kanazawa Station is not your average train stop—it's like stepping into a futuristic shrine with its glass dome and wooden torii gate. It's one of coolest stations in Japan in my opinion. Designed by architect Ryuzo Shirae, this station is a symbol of Kanazawa's blend of tradition and modernity. Inside, you'll find shops, eateries, and even gold leaf ice cream.
