    Toyama Himi-shi Asahihonmachi 16-8
    This temple is in Asahi-honmachi, Himi City. It is number 23 on the Hokuriku 33 Temple Pilgrimage. It was founded in 681, and every 33 years it offers a viewing of the Thousand-Handed Kannon Bodhisattva enshrined within. The gingko tree planted in the temple grounds at the time of its founding, making it over 1,000 years old, is a National Natural Monument and one of Japan's largest trees.

    JR氷見線の氷見駅から住宅地を抜けて歩いていける距離にあります。平日ということもあってか訪れている人はだれもおらず静かに散策することが出来ました。本堂や階段を上がった先にある観音堂など、どれも古刹らしい雰囲気で厳かな気持ちになります。

    Toyama Himi-shi Marunouchi 1-35

    藤子不二雄さんはこの寺の長男として生まれたそうです。その為か漫画の主人公たちの石造が並んでいました。静かなお寺です。

    Toyama Himi-shi Chuomachi 2-47

    朱色の小さい神社です。境内に車が停まっているので駐車場化しているのかもしれませんね。特徴がある神社ではなく、一般的な神社のように感じます。

    Toyama Himi-shi Minami O7-2

    JR氷見駅から徒歩4-5分程、住宅街の一角にこの神社は在りました。設置されているご由緒書からですが、金沢藩から氷見総社の称号を得るほどだから、ある程度名が通った神社のようです。

Toyama Areas

around-area-map

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.
