The Tsuzumimon Gate, with its wooden and stainless steel pillars shaped like a drum, was completed in 2005 as a symbol of the east exit. It is lit up at night, creating a photogenic scene in front of the station.

The Tsuzumimon Gate was designed with the image of Noh, a traditional performing art in Kanazawa, and Kanazawa's rainy and snowy climate in mind. It is meant to represent welcoming visitors to Kanazawa with a spirit of hospitality.

The architectural design was done by Shirae Ryuzo's Shirae Architectural Institute.

The Hospitality Dome behind it is a large glass and stainless steel roof, and its functional beauty means you can move around without getting wet even in rainy weather.
