Hie-jinja Shrine (富山山王さん 日枝神社)
3.5
"This shrine located in the city center of Toyama City was highly revered by generations of the Maeda clan, the lords of Toyama Castle. Beloved by locals with the nickname ""Sanno-san,"" the shrine's primary enshrined deities, Oyamakui-no-kami and Onamuchi-no-kami, are worshiped as gods of matrimony. They are also said to grant prayers for things including success in business, safe childbirth, and passing exams and interviews. Every May 30th, the shrine sees huge crowds at its annual spring festival, the Sanno Matsuri, one of the biggest festivals in Toyama Prefecture. The shrine also hosts a number of other seasonal festivals and other events, including the Sannou-kou, a tranquil and harmonious Buddhist lecture group. "

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.
