    Toyama Pref. Nantoshi Ainokura 352
    This folk history museum sits in a corner of the Ainokura Gassho-zukuri Village, a World Heritage site located in the mountains east from Tokai-Hokuriku Expressway's Gokayama Interchange via the Hietsukyo Gassho Scenic Route. It is notable for its two gassho-zukuri style buildings with straw-thatched roofs which were once a residence of the old Ozaki Family. The museum exhibits articles once used by villagers, as well as historical materials that convey the village's tradition of mutual aid. On the second floor, guests can get a close look at the unique framework and internal construction of gassho-zukuri buildings. The museum's second building, the Ainokura Traditional Industry Museum, contains historical materials about washi (Japanese paper) and saltpeter, two of Gokayama's traditional industries. Visitors at the museum can learn about the history of Japan through the wisdom and hardships of ancestors.

    Toyama Takaoka-shi Kifunemachi 36
    This merchant's house was designated an Important Cultural Asset in 1994 as the best of Takaoka's earthen-walled townhouses in terms of scale, quality, and level of preservation. The walls are finished with black plaster, and the second floor has a set of double doors. The roof has a boxed ridge, as well, and all of these are hallmarks of Takaoka earthen-walled town house construction. The Sugano family built a vast family fortune from the beginning of the Meiji period when the fifth generation head, Denemon, began trading on routes to Hokkaido.

    高岡市の山町筋にある土蔵造りの重要文化財の民家です。火災防止のためのいろいろな工夫がしてあります。民家ですが、見学料を払うとお住まいの方の説明で見学できます。昔の高岡市の豪商が偲ばれます。

    Toyama Toyama-shi Miyao 903
    This historical structure is in Miyao, Toyama City. It was built in 1868 as a mansion for the Uchiyama family, a wealthy farming family called Etchu Masters of A Thousand Koku (a measure of wealth, land value for taxation purposes of Edo period). The interior is now open to the public as an annex to the Toyama Prefectural Hall, and used as a gallery displaying art, folklore materials, and items donated by the family. It is a National registered Tangible Cultural Property.

    美術館のチラシを見て訪問しました。 地図アプリは裏側を示したのですが入り口は違うところでした。専用の無料駐車場あり。 豪農の暮らしだけでは行かなかったと思います。 建物や調度品も良かったですが、絵画が各部屋に展示されています。 生け花コーナーは子供作品展でしたが、大人作品との区別は私にはでかませんでした。

  • Tateyama Murodo
    Travel / Tourism
    Toyama Nakaniikawa-gun Tateyamamachi Ashikuraji Division Dodaira
    A murodo is a hall where mountain ascetics stay and pray. This murodo located along the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route is said to be the oldest mountain hut in Japan. It was actually used as a base for climbing Mt. Tateyama, Mt. Tsurugi, and other mountains in the area as late as the 1980s. An archeological excavation conducted when the building was disassembled for repairs discovered evidence of its role as place of worship from around the 12th, confirming that it has been in use since the Kamakura Period. The current building is a reconstruction built in 1726 and has been designated as a National Important Cultural Asset. It was built using wood from the virgin forests of Bijodaira. How the wood was carried here is still wrapped in mystery.

    相倉合掌造り集落の駐車場から一番奥まったところに位置しております。メインの散策路から少し離れており、見過ごしてしまいそうです。相倉民俗館とは異なり、五箇山の主要産業であった塩硝、養蚕、和紙づくりの道具などが展示されています。

    江戸時代中期を代表する豪農民家です。加賀藩の役宅としての風格がにじみでています。豪華な長屋門や主屋などに目が行きますが、庭園も見逃せません。また主屋には、加賀藩の役人などを迎える特別な玄関・式台もあり、豪農ならではの建築物です。

Toyama is one of the three prefectures that house the Japanese Alps, with its southern and eastern borders comprising one long stretch of mountains, out of which the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route is forged. While traditional crafts fill the northern coastal cities of Toyama and Takaoka, thatched roof houses offer unrivalled views against a backdrop of fantastic scenery at Gokayama in the mountainous area in the south of the prefecture.
