    "This temple, a 15-minute drive from Hokuriku Expressway's Tachikawa Interchange, was built by Gyoki in 725. Part of the Tateyama mountain worship faith, it had become a large, well-known temple with 21 shrines and 60 monks by its peak. The temple declined after being set ablaze by Uesugi forces and losing many of its treasures and records to the fire. However, the temple hall was later rebuilt and served as the as the family temple for many generations of the Maeda Clan. The temple grounds contain a great deal of sights to see. These include Buddhist carvings and statues such as the Oiwa Nissekiji Sekibutsu, a nationally designated historic site, and the Oiwa Nissekiji Magaibutsu, an important cultural property. The temple, which venerates Fudo Myoo as the main object of worship, is beloved by the nickname ""Oiwasan no Ofudosan."" "

    Interesting place to visit but didnt manage to explore the area fully . Although they had a area map , it is not as clearly label at site. If they would put up more directional signage on site , it...

    Toyama Nakaniikawa-gun Kamiichimachi Sakka 15
    This historical temple was built in 1370. Number 6 on the Shinsaigoku 33 Temple Pilgrimage, it maintains the legend of the santoryuto mountain and ocean phantom lights. It is filled with things to see, including a bell tower that has survived two fires, a Sanmon gate said to be built by Hidari Jingoro, a Thousand Armed Thousand Eyed Kannon Bodhisattva statue (The Radiant Kannon Bodhisattva), and a cloister holding 33 stone Kannon statues. We also highly recommend viewing the city-designated Cultural Assets, like the grave of Daitetsu Sorei, and the two sweet olive trees of Ryusen-ji.

    「とが(栂)並木」で有名な富山県中新川郡上市町眼目にある曹洞宗の寺院です。 「とが(栂)並木」とは300mほど続く立山寺の参道のことで、樹齢400年、高さ約20m、太さ3m前後の栂(モミの木の事)が延々と均等に参道の両側に生えていて、これほど美しい参道は久しぶりですね。 私は神社仏閣で一番好きなのが木々が立ち並ぶ参道の景色で、無名な神社寺院であっても参道が美しければふらっと寄ってしまうほど好きな...

    無量寺のある舟橋村は「日本一小さな村」です。 どの位かというと、正方形として考えると1辺が1.8kmチョットくらい。 つまり、マラソンランナーなら6分程で通過してしまうし、車なら2分くらいで村を通過できてしまいます。 そして、この無量寺ですが、お寺周辺には特に案内は有りませんでしたが「ばんどり騒動」の集合場所だったとのことです。(全く知りませんでしたが駅近くの案内看板で知りました) 「ばんどり騒動...

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.
