- Worth a Visit
- Located near the center of the old town in Kanazawa, Utasu Shrine seems ordinary at first glance. Yet a closer inspection reveals some unexpected residents lurking about.

- 十体の神様を祀る
- ひがし茶屋街の北東側の繁華街から来ると奥のほうにあります。10体の神様がご祭神として祀られいて、ご利益が多いとも言えますが、ちょっと何でもありな感じもします。境内にはパワースポット的な井戸もあるのでそういうのが好きな人にはいいかも。

- 前田利家が祭神
- 浅野川の川辺から掘り出した古かがみを卯辰神を祀ったことが事の起こりです、また前田利家の神祭神として藩社となりました。
