This stainless steel monument was designed by Order of Culture recipient and Kanazawa native Hasuda Shugoro, to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the incorporation of Kanazawa City in 1989.
Moved to its current location in 2003, from the old prefectural office location in Hirosaka (now the Shiinoki Cultural Complex). The 19th floor features an observation lobby that offers incredible views of Kanazawa, the Sea of Japan, Mt. Hakusan, and more.
The Moon Gate was built in 2003 to coincide with the relocation of the Ishikawa Prefectural Office. The “tsuki” in Kuratsuki, where the prefectural office is located, means “moon,” — the design was intended to evoke this image. Shortly past the Moon Gate, you should soon be able to see Kanazawa Port in the distance.
