越中国一宮。一宮も大中小いろいろだが、高瀬神社はけっこうな規模がある。越中国は一宮を称する神社が他にもあり、高岡城址公園内にある射水神社、気多神社、大山の山頂が奥宮の雄山神社の三社。雄山神社は前立社壇、中宮とあるので地点で言うと五つになるか。一宮巡りをするならすべて詣でることになる。

お昼頃に富山から国道41号線を南下中にますのすしミュージアムの看板を見たので、ドヤまめのますのすしを買ってみようかと拠ってみました。まずは無料のミュージアムに入ってみると、ますのすしは江戸時代から富山名物であったことと、代表的な駅弁として全国に広まっだことが分かりました。工場見学は、タイミング的に木のわっぱに笹を並べているところしか見られず残念でした。懐石料理の食べられるレストランは予約が必要で...

Toyama Areas

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.
