Kanazawa Station’s illumination is a standard spot for sightseeing in Kanazawa, which can be enjoyed daily from after sunset until late at night.
It reveals a completely different appearance from the daytime.
The focal points of the illumination are the “Tsuzumi-mon” and the “Motenashi-Dome” at Kanazawa Station’s East Exit.
Both are architectural landmarks symbolising Kanazawa Station, enveloped in a fantastical atmosphere by the lighting at night.
The “Tsuzumi-mon”, inspired by the traditional performing art of drumming, presents a powerful and imposing impression by day, while at night the beauty of its timber framework is accentuated by the illumination.
The composition viewed from directly below is particularly impressive and is also recommended as a photography spot.
On rainy days, light reflects off the ground, creating a fantastical atmosphere different from clear weather – another charm of the “Tsuzumi-mon” light-up.
鼓門の奥に広がる「もてなしドーム」は、ガラスと鉄骨で構成された巨大なドーム建築です
夜間は内部からの照明により、まるで光の傘のような幻想的な空間が広がります
鼓門とセットで眺めることで、伝統と現代建築の融合を一度に楽しめる点が金沢駅ならではの見所です
金沢駅を見下ろせるビルやホテルなどから全体像を眺めると、スケール感のある夜景を堪能できます
Beyond the Tsuzumi-mon extends the “Motenashi-Dome”, a colossal dome structure composed of glass and steel.
At night, illumination from within creates a fantastical space resembling an umbrella of light.
Viewed together with the Tsuzumi-mon, it offers a unique spectacle at Kanazawa Station: the fusion of tradition and modern architecture.
From buildings and hotels overlooking Kanazawa Station, one can take in the entire scene and savour the night view with its impressive scale.
