Kanazawa Station, Railway station in Kanazawa, Japan
The station complex integrates five island platforms with seven tracks, serving local trains, express services, and the Hokuriku Shinkansen bullet train line.
The station began operations on April 1, 1898, and underwent a transformation in 2015 when the Hokuriku Shinkansen extension connected Kanazawa to Tokyo.
The East entrance features the Tsuzumi Gate, constructed to mirror the shape of traditional Japanese hand drums used in local performances.
The station includes multiple ticket offices, information centers, retail shops, restaurants, and direct access to local buses and taxis at both exits.
The departure melodies at the Hokuriku Shinkansen platforms feature compositions by Yasutaka Nakata, a musician from Kanazawa.

Train stations from around the world selected for their architecture. These buildings represent different periods and architectural styles, from neo-Renaissance to contemporary. Some are adorned with domes, glass canopies, sculptures, and frescoes, while others incorporate modern steel and glass structures. These edifices blend functionality with architectural quality, as demonstrated by Antwerp Central Station with its layered levels or Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus in Mumbai with its Victorian details.
