(3) Hishi Yagura 2nd floor
Ishikawa-mon is the rear entrance to Kanazawa Castle. Still, its structure is very durable. It was designed to be strong in case the castle was attacked from the Kodatsuno area, which was considered to be the most vulnerable approach. Ishikawa Yagura (Ishikawa Turret), which is the biggest turret at Ishikawa-mon, is diamond shaped, just like Hishi Yagura, and it also has "ishi-otoshi." holes for hurling stones down on attackers
