    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。

    Toyama Toyama-shi Otaminamicho 272
    This historical building is on Prefectural Route 56 in Otaminami-cho, Toyama. It was built in 1828 as an office for the Kaga domain's mountain guards, and today it remains a valuable example of the wealthy farmer's house architectural style of the day. The main house, front gate, and earthen-walled warehouse are nationally registered Important Cultural Properties.

    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.
