The Kanazawa railway hub - Where tradition and high-speed meet in Japan | DW Documentary

A huge wooden gate, like that of a Shinto shrine, is the landmark of Kanazawa. The main railway station of the metropolis in western Japan is reminiscent of a religious site. The film shows viewers a metropolis where rail transport plays an important role: The new high-speed railway line runs through the city on concrete tracks. The film also visits one of Japan's few surviving ancient towns, as well as one of the country's most famous gardens. The railway and the city are inextricably linked.
