Kanazawa Castle Park

The former seat of the Maeda clan, known as a "museum of stone walls" for its many styles of masonry, with the reconstructed Hishi-yagura turret and Gojukken-nagaya storehouse. Entry to the park is free; the turret interiors cost 320 yen for adults (9:00–16:30), and Kenroku-en garden is right next door.
