Leaving Kanazawa Station's Kenrokuen-guchi exit, you'll find the Motenashi Dome, a glass-roofed welcome area leading to the Tsuzumi Gate. Below it, there's a waterway, and you can sit on the surrounding stone structures.
The Motenashi Dome was created with the concept of offering an umbrella of hospitality to those who disembark at the station. It's a lovely sentiment, isn't it?
