Toyama Pref. Takaokashi Sano 1342

"This park, which has a theme of ""play with nature, learn with nature, engage with friends,"" is brimming with flowers and greenery. Located a 15-minute walk from JR Shin-Takaoka Station, guests are greeted by fairies in the ""Yokoso Kadan"" (welcome flower bed) located at the entrance. The park has a wide range of other attractions including a rose garden and a row of wooden arches. You are sure to feel like you have been transported to the land of fairy tales! Another part of the park features a recreation of the vacant lot from the animated series Doraemon, even down to the earthen pipes. Visitors can fully experience the world of Doraemon. The park also has large play set and a botanical garden each designed to allow children to peacefully commune with nature."

We went out of our way to this park on 4th April 2023 to see the Doraemon statues as I am a big fan. Unfortunately they are not there anymore. Only the Doraemon clock is there. I was extremely...

ドラえもんをはじめとした藤子F不二雄の作品を味わうことのできるギャラリー。入り口からしてワクワクです。何せどこでもドアですからね。そこをくぐり抜けると、藤子F不二雄の歴史を知ることができる展示物がたくさんあります。そして、ここでしか見ることのできないアニメビデオの上映は楽しいです。大人も子供も夢中になることでしょう。高岡駅からは氷見線で１駅の越中中川駅、または万葉線で広小路駅で下車し...

高岡古城公園の一角にあります。ここの前にも駐車場はありますが、埋まり気味でした。公園には他に古城公園の北側にもう少し広めの駐車場があり、こちらに停めて公園の中を歩いてこちらに来ました。100名城のスタンプは受付にありました。御城印は別の茶屋にありました。近代までの高岡の歴史をコンパクトに展示してある施設でした。

Toyama Takaoka-shi Fushikiichinomiya 1-11-11

A museum in Fushikiichinomiya 1 Chome, Takaoka. The permanent exhibit has materials related to the classic Manyoshu collection of poetry compiled by former lord of Takaoka, Otomo no Yakamochi and the Etchu Manyo collection left by the lord and his subordinates. Special exhibitions are also held by the museum. Outside the museum is a garden with different plants mentioned in the Manyoshu poems as well as a monument to Yakamochi.

アクセスがよろしくないです。1時間に1本あるかないかのJR氷見線「伏木」から徒歩20-30分（しかも坂道）ですし、最寄りバス停からも徒歩10分くらいかかります。そこまでしてわざわざ行くほどの価値のある施設かというと、かなり疑問です。すべて複製品ですし、映像展示も大した工夫もないし。

高岡城址公園にある小さな動物園。すごい動物はいないが、小さな子供連れなら十分楽しめる。職員の手作りの動物の説明がかわいく、けっこう人気を呼んだとか。無料だけど、けっこう運営は厳しいのだろう。頑張ってね。

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.
