Nōkendō Historic Site, Former Buddhist temple site in Kanazawa-ku, Japan.

The Nōkendō Historic Site encompasses temple remains situated within the traditional neighborhood of Kanazawa, featuring stone foundations and historical markers.

The temple complex underwent reconstruction in the 17th century under the direction of Lord Hiroyuki Kuze Yamatomori, who governed the region between 1661 and 1673.

Nōkendō holds significance as one of the eight recognized scenic locations of Kanazawa, established during the Genroku period from 1688 to 1704.

Located at 5-37-12 Nokendaimori, visitors can reach the site by taking the Keikyu Main Line to Kanazawabunko Station and exploring without entrance fees.

Chinese Zen monk Shinetsu composed poetry at this location, connecting the landscapes of Kanazawa with memories of his homeland through written verse.
