Takaoka Mikurumayama Museum

Reference/Local/Exhibition/Literature Museum

4.0

This museum houses a permanent exhibit on Takaoka's mikurumayama floats, which have been designated by the government as both important tangible and intangible folk cultural properties. Only five of these floats exist in Japan. The history of the floats is said to have begun when Maeda Toshinaga, the town founder of Takaoka, gave a coach used when Hideyoshi Toyotomi welcomed Emperor Goyozei to Jurakudai in 1588 to the people of Takaoka. The gorgeous floats are decorated with a variety of industrial arts including goldsmithing, lacquer work, dyeing, and weaving. The museum's first floor exhibits a mikurumayama float designated as an important tangible folk cultural property, as well as parts of mikurumayama floats. Its second floor features hands-on exhibits on the music that accompanies mikurumayama floats and on mechanical dolls.

450円の価値はある

少し高いかと思いましたが、時間もあったので入ってみました。お祭りの４K映像のほか、展示も充実していて楽しめました。
国の重要有形・無形民俗文化財である「御車山」の展示施設

国の重要有形・無形民俗文化財に指定されている高岡御車山祭は毎年5月にしか観られませんが、祭に使われる絢爛豪華な御車山の実物が一基展示してあります。映像ゾーンで祭の歴史や様子を観たあとに説明を受けるとよく分かります。
見応えあり！おススメです

ちょうど御車山の入れ替えの日にあたり、中に入ると神主さんや地域の方が立会いをされており、とても神聖な雰囲気でした。年に数回？とのことでとてもラッキーでした。真近で大迫力の山を見ることができ、圧倒されます。様々な体験コーナーもあって想像より見応えがあり、高岡を訪れる方には是非観ていただきたいです。絶対に損はしません。
