The Kanazawa Station is a major railway station in Ishikawa Prefecture. But the station does not only function to accept and deliver passengers to their destinations. The Kanazawa station is also one of the entry points into a modernly-desinged building.

The most notable attraction of the Kanazawa Station is the red Tsuzumi Gate, which welcomes all the passengers. The gate is actually designed from tsuzumi or the traditional hand drums of Japan. There is also the Motenashi Dome or the Welcome Dome, which gives travelers a good urban and modern feel before catching their train.
